Audi TT Brakes problem

[Gunny112]

Can anyone shed some light on the problem I have please. I am driving along all ok and the brakes are fine but after a while when operating the brake pedal it goes soft and spongy and goes all the way to the floor softly! the brakes work! If I turn off the car and leave it for a bit they go back to normal operation, its like im losing brake fluid but im not if you see what I mean. could it be the ABS Sensor?

Also any tips on rewinding the window wire back on the wheel I get one on then the other doesn't seem to fit once wound on Grrrrr

Any help is a bonus guys and girls Thank you

Is this after vigorous driving and repeated hard braking?

If so, then it's likely to be Brake Fade.

Thank you KELL for the info but that is not the problem im experiencing. it seems when ive been driving for a while and the engine is warmed up its only then the brake pedal goes soft and spongy on me. if I pump the brakes the pressure returns to stop the car??

When did it last have brake fluid? Any hissing under bonnet? Any of the rubber hoses look old/cracked?

I had a rear calliper fitted back last month and soon after the problem started. the brakes work ok but after a while the pedal goes spongy and goes softly to the floor when pushed and the ABS light comes on. from then on I have to pump the brakes. I cant see any fluid loss or split pipes anywhere? its like it loses all pressure.

I think the 1st call should be to the garage that carried out the work.
