Mine has started doing this in cold weather. I'm not hearing other cars of similar age doing this. Hope it goes away when it warms up, but it's cold often enough that I'm not a fan of the squealing

I never heard any cold weather squealing with my 2007 S6, 2009 Q5 or 2010 S5. The first of the winter squealing started with my 2013 Q5. Audi had a fix for it (new pads installed Spring/2014) and the problem reappeared the following Winter. The dealer replaced the pad and rotors last winter and it's still squealing this winter. My 2014 S6 has the same problem - squeals like an old 1976 Nova when pulling up to a traffic light. Can't wait for warm weather!

The brakes on my '13 S6 have a horribly loud squeal to them. I have had it back to Audi multiple time ( they replaced the brakes and have cleaned them on multiple occasions), but now tell me there is nothing they can do, that its a known problem. They turned me over to Audi Care. Audi Care told me to take it back to the dealer, but the dealer won't do anything.
I read all over the forum that people are having this problem, but there appears to be no resolution. How can Audi be OK with this. I never hear brakes of a BMW, Mercedes or a Toyota for that matter.
I love the car, but am so disappointed and frustrated in Audi that I am close to the point where I trade it in for a different brand.
Any help out there.

BTW, I live in Australia so I don't think the brakes ever experienced cold environment problem. And the squeak happens all the time on low pressure brakes. I took to Audi twice. They claimed it is due to low on brakes but don't need to change yet. So I didnt pay $4000 plus on all four brake rotors.
But see here you mentioned it's an common problem. I will be waiting further for a solution🤔
