Why is my 1995 Audi 80 making a loud grinding noise while braking?

I have noticed that my car started making a loud grinding noise whenever I apply the brakes. It only happens when the car is in motion, and the noise seems to come from the front wheels. Any ideas on what could be causing this issue?

The most common reason for this issue is worn out brake pads. When they become too thin, the metal backing plate can rub against the brake rotor, causing a loud grinding noise. You should have your brake pads checked and replaced if necessary.

C

Another possibility is that there could be debris or rust buildup on the brake rotor, which can also cause a grinding noise. You can try cleaning the rotors or having them resurfaced.

E

If the grinding noise only occurs when you brake hard, it could indicate a problem with the calipers or brake fluid. It's best to have a mechanic inspect and diagnose this issue.
