    Not very likely. One possibility is that the pads are slightly misaligned and chattering on the leading edge — do they tend to grab on a light application? I had a Mk6 for a while and it did that.

    It would be strange to be misaligned, seeing as it has been serviced twice and then when also when i was installing the new rotors and pads i checked everything over and didn't notice anything. I could take a pad out and check if there's uneven wear to check for that?

    Aside from that, i keep leaning towards it maybe being that the calipers simply aren't grabbing hard enough when stopping and it just slips a little in that last second making the noise. The only reason i can think of for this is that either i need to bleed the brakes or maybe something to do with the master cylinder and there not being enough pressure? The braking doesn't feel bad aside from this noise, you could possibly say it's a little spongey but doesn't seem to be a problem area

    Anyone with experience on that?

    Have you thought of trying some brake grease on the outside of the pads to see if that helps with the noise?

    I read to do that when i installed the new pads, i put copper anti-seize on the backside of the pads and on the guides where the pad slides back and forth

    jesus.. don't ever take a car out of warranty to a dealer.. they will jsut fist you.. take it to a good well known mechanic daring enough to use aftermarket parts which are most likely better than OEM parts.. in this case a set of DBA T3 4000 rotors would be light years ahead of the OEM stuff.. as well as going for aftermarket brake pads... oem stuff never stacks up, they make it work for x requirement and y budget.
