I just did brake pads all around this evening on my Avant and used paper towels stuffed in the reservoir top to absorb the fluid that would have backed up as the calipers were compressed.

I started the car and got the three warning beeps and the flashing BRAKE telltale indicating that the fluid level was low. I added fluid to the top of the reservoir to top it off but the telltale continues to flash.

Is there some reset to this that I don't know about?

 

VagCom or any kind of scanner to clear the codes.

 

It was the float that triggers the low fluid warning. I tapped the reservoir a few times with a wrench and it unstuck itself and the telltale shut off. Thanks to AudiTech79 for the answer.[sm=thanx.gif] I sent him a PM and he told me what was up.
