don't know about the door, but a friend had a similar problem with brakes in his Audi.... Very weak for the first few minutes, but then seemed normal. Found out it was a vacuum leak in the hose from the brake booster to the intake manifold... guess it took a little while for the vacuum to build up enough to give good braking action. Suggest you have that part of the system checked.... if they replaced a hose, that might be the area, but perhaps they didn't do it right????
