Brake check (constant monitoring) (Audi 100 C4)

First brake at very low speed.

Using the tire tracks on the road, check that the length of the tracks on cars without ABS is the same, which indicates that the brakes are working evenly.

Check the parking brake in a similar manner.

To test the brakes at higher speeds, a level section of road is required.

At a speed of approximately 50 km/h, with the steering wheel released and your hands ready to grab it immediately, brake lightly at first and then sharply to a stop.

If the car pulls to the left, it means that one of the brakes on the right wheels is not working. The car pulls to the side more than the braked wheels.

Let the car roll down a slight slope to make sure the wheels roll easily.

After a test drive, check with your hand. Is there a difference in the temperature of the wheel rims on different sides of the car? If so, the cause may be jammed brake calipers, heavy rear drum brakes, or improperly adjusted or defective wheel bearings.
