    brake fluid

    I have an 2003 A6 2.7 tiptronic

    Where is my brake fluid container? I need to add more to it I think?

    I know silly question but I am not sure where it is.

    Problem: when I make hard right turns my brake light comes on, and beeps 3 times. I am pretty sure I just have to add some fluid to the container.

    please help

    It could be your pads.

    Take a look at the photo. The yellow cap at the top of the pic is where you insert brake fluid.

    Re: brake fluid

    After you fill the brake fluid to the "fill line" stick a pen in the brake fluid and swirl it around to release the trapped air below. Then refill the brake reservoir and repeat the process. If you needed brake pads the floowing symbol (0) would have appeared on the dash.

    TY, TY, TY. I doubt it is the pads cause they are about 10K miles in. and yes they r OEM so I figure I have another 5K more miles on em.

    Re: brake fluid

    hey guys, i had the same beeping light problem. I tried filling in some brake fluid and I was only to fill a little bit. Is there a technique to fill it? I had to push down with a straw so the fluid would go downa little more...overlall I probably was able to only fill about 2 oz. of fluid. Any suggestions?

    Thanks guys!
