maybe its your coolant level, your car might be just a little low and when you turn or slow down the sensor picks up that its low.

1.open hood
2. look inside
3. locate coolant / antifreeze reseviour container.
4. look at the level
5. if low follow these insturctions:
a. dont panic
b. look at the cap does it say something like g12+ and what color is it, green or pinkish orangish
c. if green get antifreeze if pinkish orange go to audi or vw and get antifreeze
d. fill to proper level
6. if it will leak out, i would assume that you would notice white smoke and a sweet smell from your exhaust or a puddle on the ground, see where its leaking from, a hose is a few dollars, a clamp is like 50 cents and a radiator is like $200 to $500, a cracked block is a lot. it is doubtful that its a cracked block or radiator, and its not unusual to be low on antifreeze on occasion.
good luck
