Did you change discs and pads? 1600miles in and mines been squealing since day one. Taken to dealer twice, had them deglaze under warranty but the squealing remains - they now say nothing can be done and its a common issue on all RS models which they aren't obliged to fix under warranty... :shock:

Had all the RS4s from the B5
Never really had an issue with squeaky brakes but it did pop up now and again but a series of at least 10 hard almost stops from 70 to 10 mph would clear it up
It is usually cause by slow stop start driving building up pad material on the disks
The hard braking method will remove any pad deposits on the disk
Worst case try skimming the disk
2018 B9 RS4 Navarra Blue
2013 B8 RS4 Sepang Blue
2007 B7 RS4 Avant Sprint Blue
2001 B5 RS4 Nogaro Blue
1998 B5 S4 Avant Kingfisher Blue
1993 B4 S2 Avant laser Red
