    Facelift Warning brake servo inoperative?

    I’ve had this happen twice on mine. Both times it was freezing outside. When braking the abs kicked in. Both times engine off and back on again and it went away. Was a few month ago and it’s been ok since. I googled it and came up with the same result - faulty or sticking vacuum pressure...
