I have owned VW since I learned to drive and now have upgraded to audi.

This is my first audi, got me an a4 1.8t Quattro b5. Just need some direction on the few issues im seeing:

1. To start the LCD pixels aren't all lit but im able to make out the symbol in the middle that looks like a rotor (brakes need to be changed)
2. ABS/Brake light come on when going 60-65mph, 3 beeps and blinks until im turn off the car. If I keep it at city speeds it never comes on.
3. LCD is also showing the text " BRAKE LIGHT", not sure if related to worn brakes or bulb that might need replacement

If anyone can provide a little info on these issues I would really appreciate it.

thanks in advance.

 

number 1 and 3 are common issues. try the search function next time. for number 1, I don't really know what the question is. if you need to change the brakes, change them. brake light lit up means you have a bulb out.

number two is a little more iffy. i'd imagine you have a bad abs sensor or tone ring on a cv shaft. the fact that it is speed related makes me thing it is losing the abs signal

 

Well for #1 just wanted to know if there is any way to fix the LCD ? Thanks for the advice by the way

 

Yes. You can buy the LCD and desolder the old one and solder in the new one yourself (that's what I do, requires a good amount of soldering skill), or you can pay to have it done.

Usually the ABS light coming on at speed means one sensor or it's corresponding ring is dirty. Just spray the hell out of both with some brake cleaner and see if it helps, if not you'll probably need to change the sensor.

 

thanks everyone I really appreciate the advise!!
