new brakes squeaking... help!!
So I have about 700 miles on my '09 S5. Every time i come to a rolling stop, the brakes squeak a bit. Is this normal for new brakes or should I get this looked at by the dealer. It has been doing this pretty much since day one.
Thanks!
Thanks!

My dealer told me it was normal when I got new A6 brakes that squeaked for months.
I brought it in and they checked everything out and said it was normal. They told me to break really hard a few times which I kind of did but it didn't help. My A5 has never squeaked though.

Pretty common with Audi's (u should hear an RS6!, city bus bad), Try several
runs up to 60 then (threshold) brake hard. 5 or 6 runs may help. Sometimes does, sometimes doesn't. It has become an art for me to come to a stop at lights at just the right pressure on the brake easing into it before it starts to squeak. Dealer can spray some no squeak stuff on them for you too but doesn't help for long. Audi's pads are pretty aggressive and have high content of metals so they tend to squeak period. I'm sure the S5 is fitted with aggressive pads.
