A3 BRAKE NOISE
I'm a new Audi owner and am having a problem with brake noise on my 2007 A3[ 7500 miles]. I've had it to the dealers 5 times and no satisfaction yet. Is anyone else having or had the same or similar problems. Also the concert radio is cutting out at high volumes, again the dealer is no help.

I have the same problem, some kind of noise every time when I break, also the brakes squeak, went to dealership I've had them checked, and they said everything is allright with the brakes, but I just cannot accept that.

I have the brake squeal as well. Especially now with the colder weather. I think the pads just need to be warm. As for the radio cutting out at high volumes, that is the way it is designed. It's a protection feature inherent to the stereo sytem. I know people with VW that have the same issue. I didn't like it either so I put a better stereo system in.

THANKS JUZZO, YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN IT PRESENTS ITSELF.
ANY HELP WITH LEMON LAWS MAYBE?

I had a similar problem that they couldn't find at first... Then on the second time in, they took a rock out of a stupid little metal backing plate behind a rear rotor - the rock had been ground pretty smooth...
It has happened twice since - a power sprayer at a car wash worked to dislodge it both times.
