Hi guys,

I just got a new 2009 Audi A4 2.0T quattro. Hope to get some of your wisdom and sharing my experiences here.

I forgot to post my questions . The car is amazing overall. A couple of things i wanted to know

1. brake pads seems to be wearing down a lot. I see a lot of black dust on my wheel caps already (~500 miles). Imagine silver wheel caps looking black . Is this a normal thing for audi (factory installed) breakpads? Will it go away? Any quick solution for fast cleanup?

2. I notice a small lag (about 3 times so far) when I go from pushing the break pedal at a complete stop to pushing the accelerator pedal. That causes a small jerk and shake. You instantly know that the it did not engage the engine immediately. Is that normal for a new car or an A4?

3. Reading mp3 CD's. There seems to be a limitation on the number of files it ca read per directory or some type of file naming it can't handle. I can't see all the tracks in the folders. I notice a similar thing with my ipod too (its much better with the ipod). Is that a limitation?

4. Navigation maps. Can someone tell me the version of maps they got with the 2009 Audi A4? I will try to post the exact version number I have today. I feel that the maps are very old. I have a standalone GPS from Garmin and that seems to have better maps??? Can someone let me know the version they have?

Thank you.
