Thanks guys, good to know its not unusual, (it doesn't seem to make a difference if the handbrake is on or off). I have used the garden leaf blower on the brakes a few times, did make a difference (but one time blew the plastic wheel caps off!!). Thanks for the replies

Rear brakes sticking after wheel washing?

The rear brakes seem to stick after having washed the wheels then garaged the car for a couple of days, ie the brakes/wheels have thoroughly dried out. They stick up quite badly and need light revs to get them to release (doesn't sound nice!), once released they are fine. I have been told lots of Au...

RE: Sport suspension + yes or no

I researched this issue in a big way and went for the standard suspension. I guess it depends if you are going to track day the car etc and how hard you want to drive it. The standard suspension really hangs onto the corners, is level and relatively smooth,a great all rounder, so for general road us...

18inch wheels(genuine RS4) What will they fit?????

I am selling a set of new genuine factory 18INCH wheels/tyres....what will they fit???. I understand the problem with most other Audi wheels is they won't fit the RS4 due to the brake size, but I guess in reverse the above wheels will fit most other Audi's and give a larger tollerance in the brake a...

Genuine 18 inch wheels for sale/comparison

I received my car on 18 inch wheels and drove it to the tyre shop to change to the 19 inch I already had. The ride was definately smoother on the 18's and certainly easier to clean them,(before they went into storeage). I think the 19's probably look better though. Final chapter...I am selling the 1...

RE: problem-brakes sticking or drive meshing????

Hi Guys Thanks for the replies...it does it even if I leave the hand brake off, but if I use the car quickly from its last run it doesn't do it...so guess the dealer maybe right. I seem to wash it more than use it...I'm in love!!!,I will keep an eye on it if it does it more after washing ie water ov...
