What is the reason for Audi's flashing brake failure warning?
1 Answers
Audi's flashing brake failure warning is caused by excessive brake pedal travel. Excessive brake pedal travel in Audi: Excessive brake pedal travel results in delayed brake response, significantly reduced or even complete loss of braking effectiveness, and increased stopping distance. Solutions for excessive brake pedal travel: 1. If the pedal gradually rises and feels spongy when pumping the brakes repeatedly, but remains low after a brief pause, this indicates air in the brake system. The brake system should be bled in this case. 2. If the brake pedal feels firm with normal resistance but braking performance remains poor, this suggests wheel brake assembly issues such as: oil contamination on brake pads, poor pad contact, worn friction materials, or uneven brake drum wear. A thorough inspection of the braking system should be conducted, with necessary adjustments or repairs performed.
