So after having the mods for the squeal done. They are worse than ever now. Finally the dealer managed to hear the noise to hand since balancers fitted. I think it all down to the pads being too soft.
I said to the dealer I've a feeling Audi will say it's characteristics lol. Bollox I will reject lol
They will support this.
Would you say I'm within my rights ?
TBH I would not own another Audi

Pads being too hard will cause a low speed squeal & accelerated disc wear sounds familiar ? 

EBC reds are much softer,quieter & disc friendly as an example 

Dell.

I ran Ferodo DS pads on mine and they gave no issues and got better the more they were used.

Im looking at using DS2500 next time around as the low speed bite of the Reds isn't that good

Let u know how I get on

Sweden first RS3 sedan has landed to the dealer.

 

The interesting thing seems the brakes are very different compare other FL RS3 we can see on Youtube.

 

I put two photo together, left: Youtube clip from USA and right photo from dealer in Sweden. The holes are different and the disc itself has a different design.

I have looked up the car's specification and there are no ceramic brakes on it. The question is whether those who got their FL RS3 early got the "old" brakes?

 

This weekend I will go to the dealer to look closer and ask if they know anything ...

If they've used the same brakes and they have issues like both predecessors then Audi genuinely need a foot up their arses!

That would be both feet and both legs!
