BRAKE LIGHT FLASHING ON DASHBOARD
Hello -
I just purchased a 04, Audi A6, 3.0, quattro, V6 with about60,000 miles This morning when I got to work before I turned the car off I noticed my BRAKE light “flashing” constantly on the dashboard. Should I be worried or is this a common problem for Audi’s? I am going to take it to be serviced – But I just wanted to be prepared for a huge out of pocket expense or a major problem. [/b] Also should I drive the car or have it towed? [/b] [/b] THANKS for any insight that you give…. :)[/b] |

on the b5 s4 the flashing and beeping brake light means that the brake fluid is low.

On all cars the red brake light flashing means the brake fluid is low.

THANKS FOR THE REPLIES
OUTCOME: :) I took it to a mechanic and I need rear brake pads and rotters. Total came up to $526.00 THANKS |
RE: BRAKE LIGHT FLASHING ON DASHBOARD
You should buy the pads and rotors and install them yourself - you'll save probably more than $300 of that money.

Thanks. This happened to me last week and then again this morning.
I'll buy brake fluid and get it done. |
On the B5, 1996 to 2001, (O) means low brake fluid or
worn front brake pads. |
Vehicle not starting and brake light flashing
Hi,
When I try to start the vehicle, the vehicle made some sound and didn't start. and after sometime brake light was flashing. The battery is not down as I was able to open the door using my remote key which otherwise is not possible. The vehicle was running fine till yesterday night. Mine is 2002 Audi A6. Can you please help what might be the problem? Thanks in advance for your help. Thanks, -Sonali |
sometimes a flashing brake light could mean the abs controller is dead as well, most commonly it is related to fluid level. If you do have a condition with low fluid level you should have the brake system inspected. The fluid does not just disappear, there is a leak somewhere. Low pads should flash a symbol like this on the cluster "(O)" on the later model cars.
