Your Audi A6 brakes represent an essential system in your car. Typically, your A6 brakes will be a disc braking system. The components of disc Audi A6 brakes include hydraulic and friction parts.

Your hydraulic A6 brake parts consist of a master cylinder, various brake hose and brake lines, and brake calipers. Audi A6 brakes also include frictional parts: brake rotors, brake pads, and various springs and rods.

It is important to maintain your A6 brakes and make sure they are working in top form. In an emergency situation, your functioning Audi A6 brakes can save your life. Perhaps the most important step regarding preventative maintenance of your A6 brakes involves the brake pads. The pads of your Audi A6 brakes consist of a "soft" lining that is riveted or glued to a metal plate. This lining is meant to be worn down through use, as the brake pads press against the rotors to generate the friction your A6 brakes need to work. If the lining is worn too much, the rest of the parts in your Audi A6 brakes will become damaged. You should also periodically check your brake fluid reservoir to ensure there is enough hydraulic fluid for your A6 brakes to operate, and be alert for brake fluid leaks. Over time, your calipers may rust out from the corrosive effects of the brake fluid. It is important to change worn and rusted calipers right away, as locked calipers will not allow your Audi A6 brakes to work, and you won't be able to stop your car.
