Bremse fest bei Audi A4 -Please Help! | Posts 16+

Hello,

Is this an Audi A4 Avant (8E) from October 2001 with a 1.9L 96kW TDI engine and a 5-speed manual transmission?
I can provide the chassis number later tonight as I don't have the registration document with me right now.

Sure, here is the translation of the text from German to English:

'MFG' stands for 'Mit freundlichen Grüßen,' which translates to 'Sincerely' or 'Best regards' in English. It is a common way to end a formal letter or email.

Hello Wurstbiker!

"Back in the days when brake cylinder repair was still common practice..."
Here's what I did to address the difficulty in movement/operation.

Place a straw into the brake fluid and then place your finger on top of it.
Lift the brake boot, slide the rod into place, and then tuck it under the boot.

Of course, only in correspondingly small amounts and only when necessary.

Best regards,

WVG

Okay, I understand.
We once did that with brake fluid on my Audi 80, and it worked great.

I might do that again with the A4 as well.

I couldn't find any rust or anything unusual on the piston. However, how can I be 100% sure that the piston is not damaged?
Is there a trick to it?
As I said, it fits perfectly, the cuff is fine, and there's no rust.

Hi,
The power brake booster was replaced today, and the problem has been fixed.
The Audi center covered the costs completely, including some vitamin C and similar things.

Thank you to everyone who participated here.
