Re: Braking problem ?

I have had the same problem since I bought the car 5 month ago. Yes, grinding/vibrating noise from the front, happening most of the times. The situration is even worse when it was in a wet environment (raining, after a wash). Took my car to the dealer once (HBL Tysons Corner). The head technician sit in my car and said the noise was "normal".

IN a addition, there's a faint griding noise accompanied by slight vibration when it moves very slow, escpicially under 15 mph.

Not sure whether this is common to all A4s.
