    Dashboard warning symbols

    probably bit of a silly question but does anybody know good place to get an explanantion as to what all the warning symbols mean? the problem im having is this. i assume that upon switching on the engine the last warning symbol to go out is the check for the brake light? after hitting the break you get an OK. i know my brake light bulb has blown so the warning light has not been extinguishing....which is fine. all of a sudden while driving along whenever i hit the break another symbol comes up, similar to the one described above but with no circular lines around it ..everytime i hit the brakes it comes on with a loud bleep. what could this be??

      The second one you mention sounds like the brake warning symbol. Usually because of a failed bomb (brake accumulator) but can equally be low power steering fluid (use only green mineral "goo 2000" or "goo 4000" vag fluid) or low brake fluid.

      See Mikes site here for scans of the S2 owners manual which has pics of all the differing symbols.
