    Brake Lights Warning, but working.

    So, I've managed to remove the LED lights and checked the wiring. The plugs were a bit dirt and somehow weared. I've just disconnected, cleaned, pushed the wires a bit deeper and is now working. Same LED light, did not buy a new one and it«s now working. Case Closed.

    Brake Lights Warning, but working.

    No, I don't have. The thing is: Every time I press brake pedal for more than 3 or 4 seconds, the warning lights up. If I press it just for one seconds for a light speed reduction, it won't light up. If I turn off ignition and restart it clears the warning light untill I press it again for a...

    Brake Lights Warning, but working.

    Actually it detects only the "central brake light". Hi, Yes I am sure all are working, because I've put the car backwards facing a glass and saw all brake lights on while pushing the brake pedal. I suspect something with the detecting system, like fusible or something, but I don't know how it...

    A3 Sportback cabin lights sometimes on , sometimes off

    Hi Justincr, Just a small correction: Right now when stationary in traffic, the engine is always running because Start/Stop never works. I will change the battery soon... or considering the price of this battery, I put a 'bit more' €uros and upgrade to the new A3 that is available next month...

    Regenerative braking: how it works

    Now just as simple question: Does the brand of brake pads installed has any influence on the Regenerative Braking ? If I install brake pads that are not from Audi (Ferodo), do I still have Regenerative Braking working on my Audi A3 Sportback 1.6TDi (2010) ?

    REar lights removal

    Thanks for the comments. When I look at it, it's just not that intuitive where to pull or push in and I was afraid of breaking something. I'll try again later on.
