Really not enough info to properly diagnose the possible solution. you will have to be more detailed unless someone else wants to take a crack at it?

Re: 2000 audi s4 help needed
its hard to explain, while driving on lower speed when the brake paddle is pressed
it feels like the abs kicks in, thier is a raddle sound ....
and the paddle clicks, only when driving on the slow speed, whn going fast and braking nothing happens
its weird

I would put a bet on there is aftermarket brake components installed and it is causing feedback of some sort through the "pedal".
it could be a faulty brake master cylinder, ABS unit....so many things.
Take it to a reputable Audi mechanic and have them take it for a drive.

I have had this happen twice. One of the tone rings is cracked. The ABS sensor misreads it and the ABS will come on intermittently when stopping at slow speeds. The tone ring is on the axle and is read by the ABS sensor that is fixed. It will cost a few hundred to fix it.

Re: 2000 audi s4 help needed
CanukS4 is right. It's a broken tone ring. Had the same thing happen to my car a few years back.
The tone ring is pressed onto the end of the drive axle. It's most likely a rear that failed. Don't bother with getting a new cv joint...the ring itself is fairly easy to replace if you can find them.
I wish I could remember where I got mine but it wasn't even an Audi part.
