Squeaky brakes

Hi all
I have about 40k km on my C7 RS6. Already changed dics and pads once. The squeaky brake noise is back. Only when am trying to slow down when doing under 20km/hr. Is anyone experiencing similar issue. Kinda annoyed as weather is nicer in Hong Kong now and am driving with windows down these days.
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil, I think you will find lots of earlier entries on "squeaky brakes".
My carbon ceramics seemed to get a bit squeaky around the 15K miles mark, but now at over 20K I no longer hear them; could be I'm going deaf of course, but don't think so!
I was suggested at a service 4K back that the pads they were getting looking a bit worn, and might need changing in another 3K, but 4K and no warning lights later and my friend who has his own repair garage has eyeballed the pads and tells me there looks to be about 40% life left on the fronts and 60% approximately on the back.
I am wondering what sort of life others are getting out of their CCs front and back?

Thanks Harrier.
I don't have CCs. I am running on steels only. New disc and pads and been running them for 10k. Sighs.

Hi Phil, I just brake hard from high speed a few times that usually stops the squealing for me.
