Hi All,
I have an RS3 with the factory carbon ceramic brakes which I’m having some issues with. After a few medium-hard brake cycles the other day the brakes seemed to fade quite badly. The brakes had hardly any bite to them and the pedal felt very spongey. I wasn’t even that harsh on them, definitely not as harsh as I’ve been with my Golf R on normal break discs.
The ccb’s don’t really squeak when cold however after driving for 10-15 mins seem to squeak. I know ccb’s can be noisy however I would’ve expected more noise when cold rather than when warm which I found strange.
As far as I’m aware the whole advantage to having ccb’s is to eliminate brake fade so I’m a little baffled.
Visually the brake discs look to be in very good condition, no rust and no lip around the edges, the car has less then 20k miles.
Anyone on here got any experience with ccb’s and could suggest why they are not working very well?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
