Default S4 B5 Brake Problem

Anyways, I've only had this car for a few weeks. The Dealership replaced the pads/rotors/few other breakables, just got a new tranny the other week. Now my front drivers side brake is squeaking like mad at very low speeds with moderate braking. I hopped out of the car today to check it out and noticed that the brake is also very hot compared to all the other brakes. Anyone have any idea what it could be?

Well I had a squeak on my front passenger side.There was a small piece of metal jammed in the pad after I removed it the squeak has stopped.But youcould have a torn CV boot witch will sling grease on the brakes. Causing it to squeak.This is what the shop I go to thought it may be for me. But when they saw a small groove cut in my rotor & theCV boot was ok they knew what it was.

hrm, well the rotors look brand new (because they are lol) I'm surprised that they are like that after I just got em replaced. I was just wondering if it was something I could fix so I don't have to drive 45 minutes to the dealership.

I just had my brakes and rotors replaced Friday. I noticed the low speed squeek coming in to work this morning. I was gonna call and ask about it. I have a feeling he'll say "It'll go away after they're broken in".

Try bedding in the brakes, so a few hard stops form 60mph then let them cool down.
