“When I park my car for hours and try to drive again, I get very loud noise every time I brake. And after 2-3minutes later noise is gone. (daytime and night time) when I go to Audi service . They told me its normal . But I never this happend before. I'm ashamed that people look at me whenever I hear this sound. Even cars that are more than 10 years old don't sound like this, but I've had this phenomenon not long after I bought it.”
