UFO Brakes
Fellow Audians; I had an interesting conversation with Dan (THE MAN)
Simoes own mechanic the other day about UFO brakes. Mr. Greg Haymann
of the Autofirm (914.855.0170) say they need not be problematic. He
states:
1) There is a brake bias adjustment valve at the rear of the
cars that requires a pressure gauge for appropriate
adjustment and you never can have too much rearward bias;
2) Change the brake fluid once a year at the beginning of
summer;
3) Keep the front mounting hubs rust free and as clean as
possible;
4) Make sure the brake duct/cooling vents are wide open (they
tend to close up a bit (look under the front bumper for the
air flow entry points).
Usual disclaimers and all that. Greg
