| 1998 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC | DURING OR AFTER RAINING, INITIAL BRAKING HAS NO RESPONSE FOR ABOUT 1 - 2 SECONDS. THEN THE BRAKES SLOWLY BUILD UP FRICTION TO ENGAGE STOPPING POWER. I REALIZE THAT WET ROADS CAUSE SOME BRAKE PERFORMANCE LOSS, BUT THIS EXCEEDS THE NORM. THERE ARE ALSO MANY OTHER A4 OWNER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE A4.ORG FORUMS. |
