Do you have to compress the brakes on a 94 audi wagon a lot harder than most cars or is something wrong?

I just bought a 94 Audi CS 100 station wagon and the guy told me there were no "power brakes". When driving, I have to compress the brakes much harder than any other car I've driven and it takes a long distance to stop. The brake fluid tank is full and the manufacturer website says there is ABS and all. Is there a major problem, easy fix, or are the brakes supposed to be like this? Thank you!Do you have to compress the brakes on a 94 audi wagon a lot harder than most cars or is something wrong?the brakes are faulty, usually the servo(big round black thing behind the brake fluid reservoir) vacuum line leaks or if you have the earlier model with the dual power steering pump which operates the brakes (very powerful) it means the accumulator a black or green sphere under the wing is leaking or broken, or there is air in the brake systemDo you have to compress the brakes on a 94 audi wagon a lot harder than most cars or is something wrong?The power brakes on most Audi's get boosted by a section of the power steering pump. I guarantee you that you have power brakes in there somewhere. Have a genuine Audi technician evaluate your car for you. I think someone is lying to you about your brakes. These cars must have ONLY GENUINE Audi brake fluid and Audi steering fluid to work correctly. All fluids must be changed every 3-4 years. Is this the 2.8 liter engine??? Be sure to have an Audi tech examine your cam belt, as severe engine damage can occur if the belt breaks before it';s time!! You MUST use only oil that meets spec 502/505. This means SYNTHETIC oil from Mobil One, ELf ,Amsoil or Pennzoil ultra.
