Hi All
Not sure if anyone has experienced this but anyway here goes. I have had an annoying break squeak on my 2003 A3 2.0 FSI especially when being driven any reasonable distance. There is no vibration at all when braking, as you would expect from a warped disc and the squeak is only heard during really slow speeds - like walking pace - during traffic jams etc. After taking each wheel off in turn and spinning the disc I found that the rear off side disc was to blame. There seems to be a 'high' spot on the actual disc which when turned catches or rubs against the brake pads and so makes this squeaking noise.
Like I said the disc is not warped in any way, not to the eye when spun or through vibration when braking. I'm thinking to have the disc turned with one of those lathes that can turn brake disc whilst they are still on the car as the disc itself looks fine and the car has only done 46,000 miles. Has anyone on here experienced this type of thing?
