What to do if the brakes feel spongy on my Audi A5?

I recently noticed that my brakes on my Audi A5 feel spongy and I'm not sure what to do. Is this a serious issue? How can I fix it?

First, it's important to check your brake fluid levels. Low levels could be causing the spongy feeling. If that's not the issue, it's possible that there could be air in the brake lines. In that case, you may need to bleed the brake system. It's also possible that there could be an issue with the brake pads or rotors, so it's best to take your car to a mechanic for a thorough inspection.

I've had this issue before and it turned out to be a problem with the brake calipers. They were sticking and causing the spongy feeling. If you notice that your brakes are also making a grinding noise, it's likely an issue with the calipers. I recommend getting them checked out and potentially replaced by a professional mechanic.

In my experience, sometimes the spongy feeling can be normal with older Audi A5s. As long as your brakes are still functioning properly and you don't notice any strange noises, it may just be a characteristic of the car. However, if you're concerned, it never hurts to have a mechanic take a look.
