Hi...

Audi A3 1.6 petrol Y reg.

About six weeks ago my EPC and brake warning lights came on and I noticed that I had lost all brake lights.

The warning lights went off about three weeks later (and brake lights started working again) but have subsequently come back on and I once again have no brake lights.

Also, when I indicate the indicator dash lights are flashing irregularly and sometimes don't work although I think the indicators are actually working.

When a friend put on VAG com the following faults came up:

16955 - brake switch (F): Implausable signal
P0571 - 35-00 - -

01435 - brake pressure sensor 1 (G201)
008 - Implausable signal - intermittent

I have been advised to replace the brake switch first but before I do so I wondered if anyone had any advice or similar problems??

I am confused by the problem with the indicators and whether this is related to the brake light problem and also why the brake light problem has gone away and come back?

Any other possible issues or problems?

Thanks
