S3 Brake Warning!!

[Charlie23]

Hi Guys,

Has this happend to anyone before?

On the weekend i gave my S3 some beans (Naughty i know) but on a sharp right hander i kept geting a rather loud Beep and Red brake warning on the dash and iluminations like blackpool all over the place then a message saying drive to the Nearest Audi Workshop Blah blah. Turn the car off and back on and all ok drive off all fine but then again a few miles later and hard right hander it happens again.

Had a little look at the common things, Brake Fluid all ok, Brake pads all ok havent checked sensors etc so though i would see first if anyone else has had this happen?

Cheers

Was it actually a brake warning though, or maybe traction control??

It was a big RED brake warning haha. Flashing at me on the DIS

The only way you are going to answer this is read the fault codes...

Maybe break fluid low Charlie mate check that first.

Maybe break fluid low Charlie mate check that first.

Even tho brake fluid looks ok just top it up pal if u can.

When you turn the car off it clears the fault so would it still be stored?

Ok will top it up tomorrow, did look abit black so might be worth a change while I'm at it.

Only thing I can think of is I have changed my wheels 3 times in the last week haha so maybe something has been moved or something slightly?
Though I would ask incase someone else has had a similar event.
Cheers tho guys

Wheels on and off 3 times.

Abs wires/connectors/ pad sensor wires

Scan as stated is a good idea after a visual.
