Default squealing and shaking Need your expertise

we have just purchased an Audi A4 2.0. 2007 Only 21K miles. The video shows what we started to hear today.

What I've done: I figured it might have been the belts, went to Autozone got the can of belt dressing sprayed it on the underside of the belts. No fix.

Belt dressing is the devil. Never use belt dressing.
Could be a bad tensioner pulley, or a bad power steering pump, bad water pump...

You are under warranty. Bring it to a dealer.

Thanks, do you think I should try to drive it in tomorrow, or call the 24hr, free tow to the Audi dealer??

If the tow is free then get the tow.
