Had a weird one today. As I was switching off my engine I got a red warning
from the DIS saying that my braking system was faulty and for me to check it
immediately. I checked the brake fluid level as per the manual and restarted
the engine. I drove straight to the dealers who checked the system and found
nothing wrong. The error has not reoccurred as of yet.

Just out of interest has anyone else experienced anything like this ?

Audi A4 2.8 Quattro 2000 (W)

Thanks

I had a momentary (1-2 sec) BRAKE and pad wear indicator light --
called to my attention by the warning tone -- come on while driving at
highway speeds on my '01 A4 1.8T, which did not re-occur. While the
car was in for other maintenance, I had them check the brake system.
Initially they found nothing, but on a second check they found the
harness to the brake wear indicator on one of the pads was cracked.
They replaced both front pads under warantee.
