Hi

Only registered today and already asking advice dohhh!.

Has anyone experienced the rear brakes locking up when the car is parked for only a short period of time. This is after it has been driven in the wet or taken to a carwash. The weather has been really c*!p over the last few weeks so I have used the wash more than normal. Sometimes it seems to take quite a bit of force to break them free.

My discs seem to rust back over very quickly, sometimes in minutes

Just wondered if other people are experiencing this.

Car wash ... you sinful man ... no in a word ...

All cars tend to do this when they are parked up with wet brakes, especially if they have been to the jet wash.

Yep, mine does it if I don't go for a drive to dry out the discs after washing it.

Yes many do, my RS4 was prone to this ( every wash) but the 635D Sport is not!.

When I say "car wash" I really mean hand wash. No RS or car should see the inside of one of those godforsaken machines.

So the simple answer to "sticking brakes" is to go for a damn good thrash after washing.
That way any water will be vapourised by the RS4's brutal stopping power - Can't wait!

Still glad to know that all is well, cheers A
