Elvis2 Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 Hi. This is my first post here and I have a problem with an Audi that I recently purchased. After about 10 mins. of driving, it feels like the front brakes are dragging and the front wheels are extremely hot to the touch. I also notice that the brake pedal tends to loose it's free play while this is happening. Any ideas? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrolhedley Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Just joined this site & saw your post. Bit of a long time ago but try replacing the brake hoses if they seem in any way worn. I had same problem on an 1986 80 Sport, replaced calipers & master cyl before tryng hoses. Pressure relief valve & servo were ok on mine. Old hoses swell up under pressure, restricting flow to inside hoses, causing brakes to bind. It's worse in town as brakes are being used more. My car had same symptoms as yours. Hope this helps.
