Hey all.

Ive a 2021 RS5 and the brakes squeaked like hell under gentle breaking. Audi replaced them for free and it went away but its just starting to squeak again under slow gentle braking... the kind you get in traffic going down hill Is anyone else experiencing this and have you found a way to kill it off?

Mate could be one of several things. I suggest that you visit a good tyre fitter and or a good independent VAG specialist who can surely help. The official stealers tend to be crap!!!!

Ps some pics of your car please!!!!

Thanks mate, I've seen a fair few owners who seem to have same issue. Porsche owners too. I'll see if I can get the local vag specialist to have a look see.

I'm yet get some better pics the the day I collected it... hopefully might get some snow pics soon

I can't comment on the RS5, but certainly on my S5 with OEM brake pads the thing squealed all the time. Only fixed when I changed to EBC red stuff when I came time to replace.....

Cheers Tony. I didn't have it in any of my S5s thankfully. The issue certainly isn't as bad as it was when I first got the car on the first set.

To be honest, as it's a brand new car, I would hold Audi accountable to resolve this. Frankly I'd be pissed right now.

Prestige motor, top dollar, best they fix it. I'd be ranting on the sales floor making a scene if they don't sort it sharpishly. (Easier said than done, I know)
