Anyone had any problems with the brakes on an RS4?When braking gently from reasonably high speeds i get a slight wobble through the steering that feels a little like a buckled disc(it doesnt feel like wheel balance as there are no wobbles until i apply the brakes)I just wondered if this was a common issue or mine needs checking out?

I left my car at the airport for a week, came back and the disks were rusty. They made a terrible noise and vibrated through the steering wheel. Took it to the dealer who said that the brake dust can react with the discs if wet and left for more than a few days. Initially told me it was not covered under warranty after some arguing all 4 were replaced under warranty, which cured the vibration. Hope that helps.
Ok thanks..i'll get it checked..whats the warranty period on an Audi..2 years?
