Hi,
Light has come on whilst driving along about 60mph. Pulled over and restarted engine. No more warnings for rest of journey but I just had front discs and pads changed and was wondering if it could be related. Also when I was driving slowly, there was quite a loud metal squeek / scraping sound (from brakes I think). Also, is there an easy way of checking a problem with the anti roll bar? I had ordered this to be replaced with the bushes but I'm getting a knocking sound again. The knocking is happening as I drive or if I'm revving the engine at a halt. The original independent Audi garage told me the knocking was the ARB but I wondered how it could be that when it makes the noise even when at a standstill. I have only noticed the knocking since having the timing belt, water pump and hydraulic tensioner replaced by that garage but he said the raising of the car on the ramp must have been enough to loosen up the dodgy ARB. The most recent work (brakes and ARB) has been done by a local mechanic though (not VAG specialist) and I'm a bit weary of the work done.
