    new Audi r8 v10 spyder need help!!

    hello everyone I just picked up a new 2011 Audi r8 spyder she drives nice I only had it about 2 weeks. I noticed when I'm coming to a stop ...now I. only talking about doing 2 or 1 miles per hour I hear a tiny brakes squeal sound. but if I'm driving anything above that and come to a fast stop it won't make any noise. it is only when I'm at a red light at 1 MPH ..squeal ...squeal...kind of embarrassing lol ...is this just the new brake pads need broken in? Does anyone have the same problem ?

    other than that it drives smooth no squeal very nice car!!

    Pretty sure I've read on more than one occasion that this is very common, regardless of age/miles on car. I've encountered it only a handful of times myself though.

    thank you for the thread.

    seems like everyone is using oil and such but didn't seem like the thread really fixed the issue?

    My spyder's brakes squealed for probably the first 100-200 miles, but went away after that. It was particularly bad when the brakes were cold. The squeaking has not come back since (9k miles now) and I do a combination of highway and city driving.

    well mine is exactly 300 miles and like I said only when I'm coming to a stop and the car is moving 1 mph ..like slow stop. if I break hard it wont squeal or squeak at all. just only when I'm coming to a very very slow stop

    I have the exact same issue with my 2011 v8. I have 1700km on it and squealing occurs only when stopping very slowly , like in slow moving traffic.

    Any help would be great on how to make it stop!

    Cheers

    Brand new V10 coupe here; haven't heard any squealing in the first 200 miles but who knows if I simply can't hear it because the windows are up...?
