    Brake problem

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    My (O) symbol is on telling me that I need new pads but the ABS and BRAKE lights are periodically illuminating on the speedometer. Has anyone ever ran into this problem? The ABS light stays lit but the BRAKE light flashes. I know the fluid level is good, I just had the whole system flushed and had new fluid put in. Could these lights be associated with the (O) light?

    the "brake" light indicates your e-brake is engaged or you have a bad sensor. If you flushed the system, why didn't you replace your pads? Which are probably casuing your ABS system to come on periodically do they being worn to the sensor.

    I didn't bleed them myself. I had a certified Audi tech bleed them.

    No, it was a buddy of mine that owns a shop here. He does immaculate work. He specializes in performance Porsche and Audi work.
