You might have a failed brake light switch, on most VAG cars have 1 on the brake pedal.

Hi Kite

had a look today do not have switch on pedal but seat parts say there is sensor on the master cylinder they call a hall sensor which works the brake lights
will try to remove it and see what happens and advise on that switch??
