When I'm on cruise control and I brake, it doesn't go back to the cruising speed until I press the RESUME button. But, hey, I'm stoked my cruise actually works!

Going back to the vacuum pump in the trunk that give power to the door locks. Do you know what the fix is, knowing that there is a graphite disc that tends to crumble?

Thank you!

pull it out, pop the white top off, flip elec board out of the way. take out three screws around the cover, lift off cover and spacer. must not the way the oblong shape is. pop the graphite wheel off(which is probably cracked), theres 4 little pieces of plastic rectangles that go in the slots of the wheels. put new one on and reverse.

I'm pretty sure a lot of us do. especially in the 99 year of the B5. All sensors check out, ABS is solid, but it just doesn't like it. You drive a quattro, It's only there in case you can't drive right haha
EDIT:
Inspection in germany is tough as ****. My inspection failed me for the light. so now i have to figure out how to flash it off. or just freaking unplug the dummy light.

So just unplug that particular fuse? The last Audi i had was a 99 2.8 b5.5 and That light never went off either. No diagnostic fault for it either.

unplugging the fuse would work I'm assuming but idk how it reflects the dummy lights?
