I was out doing errands with the hubby this afternoon and all of a sudden there was a loud scraping sound coming from the right front wheel. We made it home and noticed scarring on the rotor. I called Audi roadside assistance and they're sending a flatbed in the morning to take it to the dealer. Any guesses in advance of what the dealer has to say?

Symptoms:

Loud squeal, changes pitch when wheel is turned left or right.
Sound is continuous, and continues after the car is shut off.
Metal-to-metal sound.
Can replicate when car is off and parked by rocking the vehicle.

I just had it in for 5,000 mile checkup a couple of weeks ago.

I think Ohio Joe's got it pretty right - prolly picked up something else though perhaps a nut or bolt, or even possibly one came loose from the car itself - unusual as that sounds. If it's a roadside pickup of any foreign thing, I doubt warranty would cover - perhaps under a goodwill. But certainly if it's your own piece of somethin' the warranty should ...

Hope they didn't leave something loose from the 5k check up -
