Hi,
I hope you are all well, I have recently experience brake problem with my 1996 2.6.
I was searching on Google and here and all I can find is that the problem affects 2001 on Audi A4's (B6).
Bascially, I was driving down a hill one evening and there were no sudden braking etc. I parked up after that very short journey. Then when I restart the car after 5 minutes, and the first instance I touched on the brakes at the end of that road, the pedal becomes very hard, it feels like its totally pumped up, I tried a few times along that road and it remains the same. Then I turned off the engine, check under the hood (can't be mroe than 2 minutes) opened up the brake fluid reservior, all is well and in the right line there. Then restarted my engine and it drove off fine, brakes felt normally - if anything felt more responsive.
My question is whether anyone experience a similar problem? It wasn't a particularly cold evening and it wasn't raining. It is equipped with ABS, and it is working as I had to do a hard braking the day before this happened. It is fine now, and have not repeated the same "hard pedal" roblem since 4 days ago.
Could anyone please tell me what this could be caused by?
Many Thanks
