Brake failure error

chiefy · 09-06-2017, 03:32 PM

Guys appreciate any help. For the last 3 days I'm getting brake failure error coming up but brakes feel fine. I normally just accept the error but it pops up again.
Problem is car is out of warranty so not sure my local mechanical will know what the problem is.

Looks like something to do with an ABS sensor if the flat tyre warning is also showing a problem.

Anywhere with a proper diagnostic machine will tell you exactly what's wrong.

I agree with teaston sounds exactly like an ABS sensor. Had a near identical problem some years ago on an Audi A3. Just need to read out the fault code(s) to find out which one needs replacing.
