    Brake warning light keeps flashing and beeping at me!!

    It seems that whenever I go over a bump or pothole the brake/hydraulic warning light flashes on the dash and the warning beeps shout at me! It was a real pain in the *** last night when I was driving down the bumpy track to the festival that I was playing at! Just constant beeping, I'm sure it's still beeping in my head now. AHHH Shut Up!!! Although that could just be tinitus from the LOUD music?? Any ideas? Brakes seem to work ok but I could be wrong. Ta
    '93 S4 Avant now back on the road complete with new shiny go faster bits.

    Check hydraulic and brake fluid levels using correct method as per handbook. For hydraulic run engine couple mins wheels straight ahead use dipstick etc etc

        Hydraulic and brake fluid levels are fine!

          If the levels are fine is sounds as if the ABS pump is on its way. You will not get any fault codes just the brake warning display in the DIS.
          Have a look at this link.
