Defcon5 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Brake fluid level? The clutch and brake fluid use the same res so if your clutch is leaking fluid it will set the light offDoes the abs still work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinay Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Thanks defcon5 I'll have a look at the brake fluid & abs is working fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricracer Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 what fault codes do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DENTOUT Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 You may just need to erase the codes or you have another faulty sensor, could also be brake pedal switch, they do play up... ALOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I think the brake pedal switch illuminates the glow plug light on a tdi for some reason, and the EPC light on the others.Low brake fluid definitely makes the handbrake light flash, from experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinay Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Cheers guys I have found the problem the guy who fitted the abs sensor measure up the distance wrong between the sensor & the abs reluctor rings When sensor was in the right place abs light went out & handbrake light too this means abs sensor has to be the right distance & be in perfect position to make the car happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
