I had my S3 in last Friday and the dealership managed to fix my tick/click. I took a video of the noise before taking it in for service but it didn't turn out as well as nikhsub1's; however, the noise was almost identical to nikhsub1's but mine only happened when turning to the right. I would hazard a guess that it may be the same issue some are experiencing with the R. I didn't get the chance to talk to the technician directly but the service writer described the issue as a loose pin or tab on the brakes that was making contact with the rotor.
I saw a review of the GTI with the PP and the reviewer said the brakes on the PP are the same brakes used on the Audi S3.
I installed EBC Red pads about 2 weeks ago. I don't have any squeaking problems, pedal is super stiff and grabs incredibly fast. The dust is really low in comparison to the stock pads. At this point my white wheels would be covered in black. The dust on there now is acceptable in my opinion. I know others don't like the EBC brakes. So far, I'm very happy with them. Hope this helps you.
I got the EBC Red brake pads installed front and rear. I ever so slightly cleaned the wheels the same day they were installed. So far so good. I haven't noticed any large amounts of brake dust. Stopping is great. Brake pedal is more touchy now. Overall I'm very happy with them!
Found EBC Yellow stuffs for the TTRS calipers for $140 (I've found EBC yellow stuffs a good compromise semi-squeal daily drive and decent on the track)
EPC light on usually is coils or spark. find misfire plug and then move to another and see if it moves if it moves then its coil if not replace spark plugs and try again.
Installed the EBC redstuff over the weekend, wow i love these brake pads, much better bite than OEM pads, and no noise. Not sure about the dust yet, car is dirty, but bite is amazing, im super satisfied
EBC yellowstuff pads ( for track days)
I once put some EBC Organic Pads on my Honda Shadow. They worked OK, but had a "buzz" that wasn't there on the OEM Pads. I ended up replacing them after about three weeks with new OEM.
StopTech slotted rotors and EBC Yellow pads. Rotors and pads have one track day on them and a few thousand commuting miles. My OEM rotors with the same brand pads lasted 4-5 track days and 30k miles.
