ok guys so yesterday i get a call from my gf she's pulled over on the side of the road and tells me that her car just wont go anymore... When i get there the right side rear wheel has brake fluid all over and dripping...When i go inside to move the car out of the main road the brake pedal sinks all the way down. I knew she was due for new brakes but can you guys maybe give me some advice or a heads up of what i should be prepared for? Her car is a 98 2.8 A4. Help guys thanks in advance.

 

The rear calipers may need replacing. If needed, get remanufactured ones.

 

I suspect a leaking brake line. These do need to be replaced after a few years. I would recommend the steel braided type over the stock rubber lines. They are of much better quality and will probably cost less than the stock Audi parts.

 

zippy, my thought exactly. has the same thing happen. burst rear breakline.

paragon performance in cali makes nice ss lines. i put them in and noticed improved breaking.

 

nice.. thanks for the info what do you guys think of the caliper repair kits? do they work or would you recomend a whole new remanufactured one?

 

I'm using Cardone remanufactured rear calipers.

 

hey guys anyone else know where i could find some good calipers at a good price?
