Re: Brake Change Tip in 80Q

[mickley@postoffice.ptd.net (Lou Mickley)]

Interesting, I thought all of the Quattros had ABS.  Maybe it was an option.
I even have the cool-in-the-snow disable switch in the dash between the rear
fog light switch and the computer selector buttons.  I know when you also
select to lock the hubs with the switch between the seats it also disables
the ABS temporarily.

For the folks on the list, I rec'd other mail that I'll pass on also, and
that is that the REARs do require rotation of the piston to get it to
retract.  I believe due to the emergency brake setup.
