Hi,
I have recently purchased an A4 1.9 tdi sport on a 51 plate. I have taken it on 3 long journeys and each time on the last leg of the journey the brake pedal goes hard and i have no or very little brakes. The next day it's ok again?!
I have had the servo (not sure on spelling, or even what that is!) changed as it was suggested this may bethe problem, it wasn't. Has anyone got a clue what I do now?

are you driving the car hard? if i brake from say 120mph in my car the brakes feel like that , ( the pedal feels like it aint going down normally and brakes feel weak) so it could just be brake fade or you could have a sticking caliper or two which is overheating the brakes. but i would take your wheels off and have a good look at the condition of disks/pads. hth . sid
