Why is my Audi R8 making a squealing noise?

Every time I start my Audi R8, it makes a high-pitched squealing noise that lasts for a few seconds. I've noticed it only happens when the car has been sitting for a while, but it goes away after driving for a bit. Is this something I should be concerned about?

B

This squealing noise could be caused by a few different issues. First, it could be a loose or worn serpentine belt. If the belt is worn, it can slip and create noise. You should have it checked by a mechanic to see if it needs to be replaced.

S

Another possible cause could be a worn out tensioner or pulley. These components help keep the belt tight and if they are worn, they can cause the belt to slip and create noise. Have a mechanic check these parts as well.

E

It's also possible that the squealing noise is coming from the brakes. If the brake pads are worn, they can create a high-pitched noise when first starting the car. Have a mechanic inspect the brakes and replace any worn components.
