I have an 08 Audi with 10k miles. When I brake from very slow speeds (%26lt;10mph) I often hear a light squeaking. This doesn't happen when I apply the brake at higher speeds, and my brakes haven't lost any power in their ability to brake. I've heard that if you only hear squeaking at low speeds you just need anti-squeak filters added... other people say I just need my brake pads changed. Which is more likely? How much should I expect to pay for brakes + labor?Need to change brake pads?if you are not losing stopping power you should be fine. and you have a pretty new car also so i m pretty sure you don t need to change you pads. but if you were going to it would be less the 100 for a pair of pads. and its a pretty easy thing to do if you wanna try it yourself but labour is like 70$ an hr. hope this helpedNeed to change brake pads?u probably got a nother 1,000 miles left but yeah u need brakesNeed to change brake pads?It's more annoyance than a real problem.
Your dealership checks brake pad life on every service.
The noise may be due to the brakepad material, not that you're running out of brake pad.
I'd leave it alone, or bring it to the dealership.Need to change brake pads?Its an Audi. Just like any other German made car, They go throught brake pads relaly fast which in turn they have very good braking (which im sure you've noticed). It might not be the pads yet so do the anti squeel first. Take the wheels off and look at the how much the pads have worn.Need to change brake pads?You should get 30,000 to 40,000 miles before you need new brakes.
They're probably just dirty, oily from road grime during the rainy season.Need to change brake pads?Any car that goes through brake pads in 10k miles is junk. I get 80k out of my brake pads %26amp; shoes. Cheap pads will squeak. If the pads are good, live with the problem. Just replacing pads is about $100 per axle.Need to change brake pads?the brake pads are most likely glazed and causing the squeak. Your squeak is most likely your only problemNeed to change brake pads?Ignore the squeak. New brake pads squeak. No problem at 10k miles.
