Hi all,
Just thought id ask a few questions to see what you guys think and what i could do.
I got my audi a3 last month (still within 30 days) from the dealership, and when i took it home up the motorway i noticed the brakes weren't working very well at high speed. I thought it may just be down to it sitting for a while and that it would sort it self out once the rust wears. I called up at the end of the week after i had a close call when someone pulled out in front of me and i crapped myself when i really struggled to stop with my foot through the floor on the brake pedal (the abs didn't kick in as i wasn't sliding or anything like that). Ive had to wait until then till now till they would take it into the work shop, but now they have called me and said their is nothing wrong and its been tested at various speeds.
When i took it in the brakes were still rusted/pitted
the brakes are better than they were then but only round the doors, slowing down from high speed still isn't very good at all.
i also asked about my passenger side window squealing as it goes up and down (just whilst it was in there or i wouldn't have bothered), but they have said their is no fault there.
What should i do? i know brakes aren't covered by warranty but as the car has been sold as OK from Audi, if their is an issue with them should they do the necessary to fix them?
thanks
