Hey all...this is my first thread but I have frequented the forum a lot.

I bought a CPO '06 A4 back in Jan of this year. Just recently, I have been hearing a little noise whenever I brake. Nothing too overwhelming; not screaching or anything; it just feels like a shudder and sounds like there is some slight friction whenever I let go of the brake to move forward slowly.

I would imagine there is something up with the brake pads but I would also think that is something updated for the CPO inspection that the car went through just 6 months ago. In the first few months I owned the car, I did notice an abnormal amount of brake dust on the wheels. Is this normal or maybe an indication that a lot of the brake pad was worn out in the beginning?

As far as the brake dust, if that IS normal, you guys recommend a brake dust shield for the wheels?

Thanks for the help/advice!
