I have an 04 coupe and had a question on a situation that occured last night. Was at a friends house w/ my wife and we were leaving to go home. started the car and noticed about a block down the road that the BRAKE, VDC Off, & SLIP warning lights were on. Stopped and shut the car off for a minute and turned it back on. Still stayed on. Drove about 2-3 more blocks and the BRAKE light turned off but the other two were still on. This morning going to church had the same situation. That was about 2hrs ago. Now they are off. Is there anything I should be concerned about or is it just a notice for my brakes to be replaced. I know my brakes need to be replaced, thus me making that assumption. Has anyone else experienced this or know what it may be?

Thanks

 

Your brake fluid is probably low.

 

the only light that goes on for me is the seatbelt.

thats it, cant help. check fluid. im audi *1

 

its definitely time to change your brakes, this happened to me not too long before my brakes were down to the metal, change them asap

 

Don't jump to a conclusions... it's more likely just his brake fluid. My rear pads were metal to metal and my lights never came on. This issue is commonly associated with low brake fluid, not pads needing replacement

However, it's not a bad idea to get the level of your pads checked.

 

or maybe cuz your a speeding monkey would explain why the brakes are going out. hahahahahaa

 

my rear pads were fine but my fronts were worn so im guessing it has something to do with the front pads, let us know

 

Brake light coming on is a sign of low brake fluid. Fill it up and you should be fine. The other 2 I think indicate limp mode which was probably turned on due to lack of brake fluid.

 

ill check fluid level and see if thats the culprit. thanks for the info. i have new drilled/slotted rotors that im gonna put on w/ new pads. havent done it yet cause im waiting to put on my suspension. i have an Eibach ProKit but found a deal on some coilovers. dont know which i should go with. any input?

damn you sound just like the wife when i drive....yet she loves to speed as well. go figure that....hahhahahaha
