Like Doc said, I am a very regular track user and I over maintain my car.@Arcam - Are you a track day regular? I was just wondering why you tinker with your brakes so often
I life in Belgium ...2 days at Spa??....when???Like Doc said, I am a very regular track user and I over maintain my car.
I have just used another set of pads at the Nurburging last week so have taken the new back plates to fit as I have 2 days at Spa next month and brake cooling is even more important there.

Just read about an FL owner reporting Low speed squeal on his New RS3.
New style discs and at 600 miles.....

Can't believe it was on the 8P, then 8V and now the 8V face lift - terrible !
After multiple pad & disc replacements in my 1st year of ownership (for squeal & warping) I aint fitting none Audi parts.
If the discs were to warp again, there is no way Audi would replace them if I have none OEM pads fitted.
I've just had confirmation that when my car goes in for a service in a fortnight that I've got a FL RS3 with sports exhaust for the day.
I'm genuinely interested to see what I think of it. I never have a blinded loyalty to a particular car I own so hopefully I will be able to give a fair opinion on how it compares to my PFL. It will also have a pano roof which is about the only option mine is missing.
I've also got a drive in an M4 tomorrow with rain forecast. It will also be interesting to see what that's like in conditions that the RS3 would revel in.
How bad is the warping?
I had warping on a set of the 'wavy' discs.
These were replaced March this year with a set of optimised/ thicker circular discs.
This cured the warping, but the brake squeal still creeps in if I don't thoroughly pressure wash the discs once a week.
It is the pad compound Audi use which sheds loads of dust and sticks to the discs.
Loads of residue comes off when you pressure wash them.
Having new pads shouldn't void warranty?

Duct 1, it feeds through to the inner wheel arch outer edge.Which duct are you referring to?
Nr 2+3 goes together and is for the cooler only. Nr 1 maybe, as it channels air thru the bumper instead of around. This may help brake cooling a bit?
I´m surprised that it's missing the ducting on front underside of the inner fender as well as the ducting on the control arms. This was something that my old rs3 8p had.
I like the new front brake cooling ducts along with the extra inner ducts on the FL bumper, the new TTRS does not get them which is a surprise.

Is that an option to order?
Nice one, must say the parts picture if the caliper is nothing like the real thingIt is on the TTRS
Sounds reasonable, when specing a TTRS the Sports option is showing but on the detail tab it does not shown/mention the extra cooling.Perhaps it is a TTS calliper as the kit is available for both TTS and TTRS, but more expensive on the TTS due to missing parts from factory I assume
Drove the whole day today and didn't hear a squeak at all...Yes. I get a bit of squeaking everyday for the past couple of weeks. :/
Gonna wait a bit before a drop the car at the dealer to fix it. Hopefully it goes away when I´m now over the run in period (930 miles) and start to drive it more enthusiastic.
No squeal on my Facelift. I suspect not bedding them in properly. Treat them with varied braking from easy to hard.Just read the exact same mate.
Well that's it.
No way I will consider a FL now.
I have put up with brake squeal and weekly pressure washing of my discs to surpress the issue, there is no way I will consider another RS3 to then have to put up with it for another 3 years.
It is disgusting that Audi have not sorted this - it totally spoils the ownership experience.
I was hoping that what appeared to be a new style of disc had sorted it, but it appears not.
So it looks like I will have to consider an Audi S3 / S4 or Merc A45 or C 43 AMG next but no way it will be another RS3 after hearing this.
I am sure we will start to hear from other FL owners now starting to experience the same.
