Hey All

I have a 2000 A4 1.8T and lately I been getting the BREAK LIGHT on the cluster screen. It goes on & off like last night when I start the car & put it in drive the brake light came on & as I drive for a while the light went away. I check the brake fluid thinking I needed some but i didn't any. Any suggestion on how to deal this problem and fix it.

Thanks

 

add a bit of fluid.

 

if the fluid doesnt work, from what I have been hearing and come acrost a few times was the acutal level sensor being bad

 

Are you getting the red "BRAKE" light on the cluster (the one that goes on when you pull the e-brake), or the "BRAKE LIGHT" warning on the information display?

The red "BRAKE" light is probably due to low fluid or a problem with the braking system. "BRAKE LIGHT" means one of your brake lights (taillights) isn't working (burnt-out, loose wire, etc.)
