I've only had an Audi for about 3 months so please be patient with me.
Alright well I just want to know what a light means because it's not exactly in the manual the way this looks...
It's the yellow light in the center (my car has the light cluster rather than the digital display).
I think it has something to do with the breaking system.
That would make sense because my brakes feel like crap but after inspecting my pads they all seem to be fine?
It looks sort of like this

(o)

I attempted to take a picture but my camera sucks...

Thanks.

 

It means you wore through a brake pad sensor. Your pads and maybe rotors need replaced. Check both front and rear and see what all you need.

 

There are only sensors on the front pads, but replace both, even if the rear arnt bad, its nice to keep them all even. and this way you will know there are good pads in there all around. I find that you can go cheep most places, but with breaks i like to go the extra yard.

 

Add brake fluid. This indicator is for low brake fluid and
worn front brake pads. First add brake fluid.

 

The brake light blinks and beeps when you are low on brake fluid.

 

cincyTT, You are correct for a B6. For the B5 add brake fluid first.

 

Well the reason i say that is because my car is a 2000 and yours is an 01. Wasnt sure if they made the change at the same time or not.

 

His car is a 1999.5 , which is a B5. You claim to have a 2.0T,
which it a B7. Mine is a B5 which I bought new over 7 years ago.

 

Yeah my first instinct when the light came on was to check the brake fluid but it's fine really fine I did add a little.
Yeah I guess my pads are bad I mean my brakes feel bad but when I look at the pads they all have pad left on them... So I don't know but I like havening new brakes anyway.

So theres no other reason for light to come on.
and it's not something that needs to be 'cleared' after the problem is fixed?

 

Brake fluid should be up the the neck with car level.
