    new style 2005 a6

    a little bit disconcerting

    anybody else experienced this, if yes what steps did they take to resolve it

    reported on first service but was fobbed off with brake fluid been topped up now 3 weeks after service it has popped up 3 times

    getting worried now as i live on a hill

    just to update all and to the body of knowledge here

    a6 was in with dealer today and the computer logged 2 incidents of the fault thankfully

    it needs to be hooked up to a diagonostic machine to further illuminate which apperently is very expensive and my dealer has requested a loan of the machine from audi ireland

    the mechanics thoughts on it are that it is a loose /faulty connection along ther line that is preventing infomation been relayed on the gateway and if the info is out of synch and not relayed to computer instantly it will trigger the fault

    does this sound right?

    the parking brake itself is fine so at least now i can park safely without the aid of a concrete block behind the wheel

    hopefully they will get the diagnostic machine soon and i will further update the forum
