            check

            check the forum for a test on the bomb, only involves pumping the brake pedal x number of times I think?!

              Yes its the brake fluid reservoir socket contacts failing. Less than £5.00 from vagparts

                  Hello Nip
                  I had this problem when i first got my s2 and it turned out to be a bulge in the brake pipe line ( how this picked it up i dont know but i suppose it was losing not pressure but volume or something) any way just thought id say if all else failed check your rubber pipes ( and i think if you have goodridge hoses check these a lot for any wear and tear as i have read loads of problems with them failling)

                  But as you say its around corners etc it probably is a wire sensor.

                    I have had this, and it turned out a fluid flush was needed to clear out the check valves in the system. The bomb is charged while driving, then when you switch off the engine over night, the fluid drains slowly back to tank cos the valves are not sealed correctly. When you start up it alarms to say there is no pressure in the BOM.
