[s-cars] Brake pressure regulator

[Gabriel Caldwell]

While I was under my car, I also noticed that there is no spring tension on my brake pressure regulator.  In fact there is about ¼ inch of play.  The spring can slide out of the slot that it's in.  I can adjust it to be tighter, but what is the proper adjustment technique?  Also what is the effect of this being so loose?  See illustration for what I am talking about:  http://www.gabrielcaldwell.com/pix/Audi/bpr.gif  I have a Bentley for my 90 but none for my S4.  I read the technique for the 90, but I'm not sure if it's the same.
