spiral Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Well after one month of cab motoring I'm on the whole pretty happy. Just a couple of things really annoy me. 1. Is it me or do the brakes feel a bit spongy, I had a TT before and the brakes felt great, very instant and strong. Is there a brake upgrade that can be installed? 2. Passenger side window drops 6 inches when I raise the roof, this doesn't happen everytime but I would have said 1 in 3 roof raises. Anybody else got this problem. Apart from these minor problems we have been very happy so far, the weather has helped. Got my parents over this weekend and my Dad is keen to compare his CLK with the Audi. Let you know what he thinks next week. Spiral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Brake upgrade - you could try different pads to see if it gives you any better feeling, or then uprate them with better disks and calipers - i am sure many of the tuning companies could advise on best for your purpose.

Mine are excellent and before I drove off the forecourt, my Salesman said be careful of the brakes as they are very sharp. I have to agree No complaints with the brakes at all. I haven't experienced any problems with my windows, so can not comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Brakes absolutely definitely not spongy! Quite the opposite, I find driving other cars feel spongy after my A4 Cab, and other people driving mine always comment on the sharpness of the brakes. I've had that window dropping thing too. Completely random, and oddly doesn't seem to happen as much as it used to. Predictably it never does it when being demonstrated to the dealer... Glad you're enjoying it though, fabulous car!

Looked in on the forum once or twice quickly, but no time to post. Having a quiet morning today though, so thought I'd catch up. Hows stuff with you? Cab still behaving itself I hope?

Hants_Cruiser_UK Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 [ QUOTE ] Hows stuff with you? Cab still behaving itself I hope? [/ QUOTE ] Fingers and everytihng crossed, so far so good Actually starting to enjoy it now. I think its probably because it's the longest time I have had with it in one go, before it had to go back to the dealer. Still waiting to hear about the new rack though, but i'm not rushing them. The only thing I have now though, is a really annoying squeak in backrest of the drivers seat which only occurs when I drive the car - no one else I can't make it do it staionery by moving/bouncing in the seat, only whe nactually moving Oh well, i'm sure i'll get it sorted some time Had great fun this morning putting the gearbox in manual mode and whizzing through the 6 gears. It totally transforms the driving experience having it in manual mode, plus you really get to hear the lovely exhaust note that you are enjoying so much I have often wondered if I should do the manual mode more often, so the engine gets a chance to rev higher up the scale, because normally the multitronic keeps the revs so low and surely that must make it clog/coke up a bit. Oh well better go do some work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 HC, Definitely think a good blast does them good occasionally. The other thing I notice is they always seem to feel better after a really good long motorway run. Oh and little squeaks from the interior can be very annoying. Glad you're having fun though!
