Afternoon,

I just picked up my new 2020 RS5 Sportback on Friday, and did about 300 miles in it yesterday. Came out to it today and the front right break has developed a notable squeak when I depress the peddle around the 50% mark. I might be tripping but I think I can also smell something when this happens.

Out with the annoyance/embarrassment of a heavy squeaky break, I am worried this is a fault.

Anyone else has a similar issue with a RS Audi? Or just a normal one for that matter? Read a few articles which said new breaks need time to bed in, and this issue will go away, and that that a few hard breaking sessions with - in effect - wear through the issue. The breaks are functioning perfectly.

So, fellow motoring enthusiasts, should I be calling the dealership or do I have nothing to worry about and just power through it?

My RS5 coupe brakes used to squeak when it was new, after a few thousand miles, not an issue..

How are you finding the car?
