that's actually a worn brake pad indicator. most likely your fronts. have a look at them.

modset is right, that's your low pad life indicator. only the front pads have the sensors in them, so that's what'll trigger it. probably just need new brakes. either that, or somehow you managed to cut one of the sensor wires or broke the sensor.

Simple question for most. I dont have the manual for my 2001 A6 2.7t Tiptronic. This warning signal in the dash has shown up and my CEL has been on for a few weeks. Any help with this and what does this warning signal mean? I appreciate all posts. Thanks
Did you check under the steering wheel for your manual? If it is there, I hate you.

Yes,i have checked under the steeringwheel. I was on another forum about this topic. Everything seems to fall out for some owners hahah including me. Its not there  . Im pretty sure i havent cut the sensor but do u think high speed braking could effect it? But then again anything is possible right?They do squeek a fair amout of the time too. I also sprayed a little wd-40 a few days ago on the control arm and a little on the calipers because of squeeking when I turn the steering wheel all the way. Any suggestions? thanks so far guys. Ill let you know what I find this week.

GDET--more than likely your pads are getting ready to go. do you when they were replaced last? if not, then you're probably going to need to replace them soon. you might also need rotors, or get yours turned if they're not under spec yet. if you do decide to go ahead and replace them, then you might as well do the back too, because although only the front pads have the sensors, the pads wear pretty evenly, so i'm sure your rear pads aren't too far behind.

Thanks Mustang. No I dont know when they were last changed. When I bought it the dealer said they were new but you know how some dealers are. Thanks for the advice. Ill keep it in mind if i need to change them. Ill probably get them checked out this weekend.

By the way... I bought it December 9 of this year. So I havent had it too long. Just for reference to when the dealer told me about the brakes. I do think this is a great opportunity to get my calipers painted finally.

yes get them checked asap. You probably need new pads as stated above.
Also you mentioned a cel light, so get someone to run the codes and post them so we can attempt to help

Some AZs can do the scan - they don't always know what it means so be sure to get the codes and chech with the people on here.

I got the car scanned. The codes are P0305, P1138, P1136. The guy told me one of them was a cylinder misfire. One was possibly a 02 sensor and the third was not told to me.
