    Squeaky brakes - any fix?

    Hi Redstuff pads fitted. Direct replacement as above except you have to cut the sensor cable off the original and fit to cables off the redstuff pad. 10 minute job to do this. Other than that a child could do it! Brakes squealed like hell for the first 3 or 4 stops, I think they come with a...

    Squeaky brakes - any fix?

    Ok...Getting closer! So if I read you right they're 'RS4' pads?? The photo shows them I guess but when I zoom in for the part number its not clear enough. If they are RS4 pads, which year/model - If I could have this info I'm good to go!!

    Squeaky brakes - any fix?

    So...the dealer stripped and cleaned the pads etc. Within a couple of miles it was squeaky brake time. I really don't mind about the cost of new 'Redstuff' pads....if you guys recommend them that's what i'll get, but could someone who has bought and fitted them to 'their own 8V' please give me...

    18" winter wheels & tyres.....Any fit the 8V RS3?

    Ok, struggling here. I've been told you can fit 18" wheels to the new RS3. Only ones I can find listed are below: http://www.wheelbasealloys.com/alloy-wheels/riva/bnz/black-polished-lip/18-inch Don't love them! Not want black. Have you fitted 18" wheels to yours? If so could you post a pic...

    Waking the neighbors! It has to stop.

    Speculation that I've bought the wrong car needs correcting :end of discction: I'm not about to start asking my neighbors what car they think I should get either :sign ot: But it's odd that Audi have gone to the trouble of designing a car that can be both noisy and quiet when desired....but...

    Squeaky brakes - any fix?

    Ok. Spoken with EBC supplier, not sure if they are EBC themselves or not, but they say the pads you have recommended (B8 RS4) won't fit. They say Yellow Stuff pads, part DP42070R. Punch in Audi RS3 on their website and it won't let you select 2015 year, only 2011/2012! So according to that...

    Squeaky brakes - any fix?

    Good advice. I'll keep the original pads and put them back in when the disks warp. :busted cop:

    Squeaky brakes - any fix?

    Hi Thanks for this. I'm well used to the 'they're all like that sir' or 'we can't reproduce the issue sir' responses from dealers, so' i'll just fit some new pads, de-glaze the disks (which it shouldn't need obviously, but while it's apart...) and have done with it. Will let you know how it...

    Squeaky brakes - any fix?

    Hi Just to add to my other post about noisy exhaust...the brakes squeal like hell! I thought this was just a new car thing but it's not going away. In fact I think it's getting worse. Squeaky brakes on a new car is nuts. I see from a Youtube clip that the tester also noticed this issue - is...

    Waking the neighbors! It has to stop.

    Huh? It opens the exhaust to noisy setting for a reason?? Not sure I follow you. It's the only car I've ever had that need to rev the engine so high on start-up (manual choke cars excepting). No problem with it revving, but with the exhaust noisy setting? Really? Why design a car that has the...

    Waking the neighbors! It has to stop.

    Ours is the 'sports' exhaust. It's amazing. BUT I was told the comfort button made it as quiet as a Bentley. :-)

    Waking the neighbors! It has to stop.

    Hi. Wonder if someone can assist. A few questions....I expect someone else will have asked but 'search' doesn't seem to pull up anything. The car has the sport exhaust option fitted with dynamic pack. 1. Cold starting wakes the neighbors! The motor springs to life in a very excessive way. It...
