I had the same issue with my S4. Swapped my pads with 100% ceramics. Not only did the squeaking go away 100% but no more brake dust. Costs about 160 bucks for ceramic pads. Do it and save all the head aches.

WarCity, what brand did you buy for the ceramic brake pads? How's the stopping power? Is it the same? Any issue with the warranty from Audi?

Thanks

I bought Hawks, via Amazon shipped to my door $160.00. Better stopping power and quality than stock. Installed it myself. Brake pads are not under warranty (considered wear and tear) so you're not going to impact warranty.

A quick question to the Canadian TT RS owner - did Audi Canada or your dealership fix the noise issue just like Audi America or Audi UK?

I called my dealership this morning, and the SA is going to contact Audi Canada for recommendation. The noise is really bad again.

Thanks

Going in for my 25k service and was informed by my dealer the brakes will be "updated" to resolve the squeaking issue.

Interesting. Perhaps they will install ceramic brakes. Find out the brand hopefully Hawks. They're great.

I will find out and update. I would be impressed if the update was ceramic pads.

Update: The upgrade involves changing the front rotors, pads, calipers...everything. No word on the pad material yet and the car will be having a sleepover at the dealer as they send the kit in for the morning. Parts alone $2500, yikes.

Finally my brakes got replaced with new callipers, pads, and rotors. No more squeaking.
