[Biturbos4] High pitched, squealing sounds, when turning steering wheel when driving

[Witte, Michael J (HPFS)]

Thanks John, will give that a shot, here's the answer:

Pls, I am still steaming hot, or am I expecting too much service ?!?!?

and nice <insert wonderful Dutch Cursewords here> to DCH Audi....in
Maplewood, NJ.
 
Called them @ 9.45, whether I could stop by, time wise and schedule wise
for them, not a problem, please stop by. Did so, arrived @ 10.01, handed
the keys, within no time, Audi pulled inside the garage, nothing else.
Finally, at 11.15, a tech takes a drive with me, oh wait, that's 1.15
hrs later, hears noise, confirms, probably a bearing or something stuck
in between brakes........kicker, service rep tells me they cannot
guarantee that they will look at this, hold on, you make me wait for
more than an hour, than to assess you probably won't have time to look
into this ?!!? Oh, yeah, "can you see how busy we are", sure, I do,
however, if you make me wait for over an hour to perform the
diagnostic....?!?! "Can I talk with your manager", mmm,
maybe...."manager stops by, however, service rep continues to ignore me,
nor to tell him that I would like to discuss something with him. I ask
the rep, hello, I asked you whether I could speak with your manager, to
address the situation, and maybe find a solution, and you don't even
mention anything to him..."well, he had two calls waiting...", I don't
care, could've been a 10 sec conversation...but it this how Audi has
become ?!!??! Service, a brand new dealership, new lay-out, however no
customer service ?!?!? Sorry, and I am starting a fight, but since you
omitted to have the manager involved, I will inform AoA, thank you very
much........
 
WTF......

Are you certain there isn't a pebble stuck in between the inner brake
disk cover and the disk?  After sticking mine badly in mud and embedding
muck everywhere I had this happen.  It would squeal like crazy when
turning one direction, but not the other.  Took me a while to figure it
out and dislodge the offending pea-sized pebble.  I was cleaning dried
mud out from underneath the car for weeks.  John H.  2001.5 S4 Avant
