I've been trying to live with it, but it's driving me nuts.
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
Thank you you for reaching out and bringing this to our attention. Have you been able to speak with your Audi dealership and have them inspect the brakes at all? First we want to make sure there is no improper function of the braking system in place causing the noise before taking any other further steps. If you'd like to send over a PM with your VIN and contact information I will also open up a case on your behalf so all information can be documented accordingly.
Speaking from experience, the brakes on your vehicle are designed to function at a high performance capability all of the time. When it gets colder outside and before the system has had a chance to warm up, the sound can be more apparent as well. This doesn't necessarily mean that there is a problem with your brakes, just that our engineer teams are continuously focused on providing the highest quality of brakes possible on your vehicle with the race track in mind. That can cause some unfortunate side affects when using your vehicle in standardized city driving. That being said, we still want to perform our due diligence from the manufacturer standpoint so please send me a PM whenever you get the chance.
Thank you,
