    Braking fault

    My S2's brakes are playing up. With the engine running, if I press the brake pedal quickly and with a decent amount of effort a warning symbol appears on the dash (red explanation mark). The pedal then proceeds to judder and and begins approaching the floor. (Similar feeling to the ABS kicking in).

    Not noticable during normal driving, my MOT man picked it up the other day.

    Any ideas?

    S2 owners might conform, but seems like a loss in Pressure, more than likely the brake "bomb" or accumulator, will try to find a link to problem diagnosing for you

        Thanks Sean. I had a sneaking suspicion It would be that. Wish they'd have jus used a normal servo!
