Brake maintenance: If in doubt, consult a workshop (Audi A4 B6)

Your brakes are important for your safety and the safety of other road users, so regular brake inspections are the best investment you can make in life insurance.

Don't be afraid to remove the wheels and check the condition of the brake pads. Brake system maintenance is not witchcraft. Most brake system work is no more difficult than removing a wing or bumper.

However, you should only pick up a screwdriver if you are really sure that you can handle the task. If in doubt, it is better to contact a specialized workshop. The vehicle operating permit depends, among other things, on the brake pads, and the brake pads are selected depending on the vehicle model. For this reason, only those pads that are approved by the vehicle manufacturer or the Federal Motor Vehicle Administration are allowed to be used. Such pads are labeled with the operating permit number. When cleaning the brake system, dust is produced, which occurs when the brake pads wear out, this dust is dangerous to human health. For this reason, this dust should not enter the respiratory system.
