Tell them that changing the shocks has improved the ride and handling but not cured the brake judder so the original problem remains and they need to fix it.

Warped discs, no question. Find another dealer!

ive been in to the dealers 5 times with this issue, they will probably clean them first time, keep on at them and they will eventually change them for new ones
RS3 8P 2013 Phantom Black with Ally Pack and Black Optics Grille | LED Interior and number plate lights - GONE :(
RS4 B7 2006 Phantom Black with Titan alloys and mirrors - GONE :(

Only if Audi CS will stump up the costs of the dealer are willing to foot the bil themselvs though. If neither, you'll have to pay.
