Audi A6 Brake problem

    I left the A6 up in the airport for 2 weeks while led away on holidays. Came back, was gentle on the brakes driving home, but could hear a noise, like driving over rumble strips. Took it easy, brought it over and inflated tyres properly as they were down a fair bit, and the noise is still there, albeit at low speeds/gentle braking. The discs look fine, and I'll book it in with Audi to have a look, but anyone got any ideas in the mean time?

    Not sure, I have in the past heard screeching when I left cars laid up for 2 weeks or so, it was nothing more than rust on the pads being rubbed off and resolved itself after a short drive. Perhaps a stone trapped in one of the pads, is there any scouring damage on any of the discs?

    Its not the abs system causing the pedal to vibrate is it?
    A fault in that system can cause the abs to cut in far too soon.

    Yes, I'm thinking ABS, as it seems to be at low speed, but not under harder braking.

    Turns out its the tyres. Nearly down to the limit, and apparently Audi don't like V rated tyres.......
