Stevie84 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Hi, I'm new to this forum. I have an audi a4 b9 avant 2.0tdi s line. I have had a brake servo restricted please return to workshop message appear on dashboard along with start stop not working please return to workshop. This has been intermittent over last week. When the messages appear the brakes feel funny. I don't think it is an actual brake servo fault as I have done the brake pump test. Possible sensor issue? Bit strange for a car less than 2 year old with low miles. Any ideas anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Q Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I believe the problem is caused by the brake servo pressure sensor. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGP Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Well, I looked for a blown fuse or a lead off - no luck Disconnected the battery for a hard reset - no luck The car had been stood for 4 weeks, was OK before. Took it for a drive to see if the error would disappear - no luck Time to let Audi have a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie69 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hi Guys Managed to get an appointment with Audi, quite difficult with the ongoing pandemic, vehicle tech informed that it was the pressure sensor at fault, so had it replaced with now no issues whatsoever. The cost £200 for parts and labour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGP Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 We got ours done for free - I guess its a common thing, done under warranty. CGP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzh Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Hi All, New to the site as I was searching for help regarding a warning on my display regarding the brakes and to take it to a service centre. I plugged my diagnostic tool in and its stating the brake boost sensor fault., vehicle had been off the road for bodywork repairs for weeks prior to this. Does anybody perhaps have the AUDI part number off an invoice they have. Thanks in advance for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter1028 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Follow up to the brake servo warning.... i finally brought it to Audi here in Lyon who said it’s actually a sensor fault and will cost €250 😱 unfortunately my car turned 3 in April and it’s no longer under warranty. 😢 the fault started just before April but all garages were closed..... no way to prove it....

Steve Q Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 There's should still be some discount due to the fact the car is just out of warranty. You'll have to argue with them unfortunately. Cheers Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be surprised, and if they're reluctant fight them on it. A part like that shouldn't go either in or just out of warranty. Plus as you can see there's now a few documented cases which you and Audi are both aware of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry F Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I have exactly the same error messages on my 2016 A4 2.0 TD Avant, after the car has been parked in my drive since March. There is a clear pattern here. Will be calling the dealership on Monday, and will post the outcome of my negotiations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neeko99 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Hi, everyone... I've had the same problem on our 2017 Q7... parked up for most of lock down and drove it for the first time in a while yesterday and the brake servo and start/stop error appeared... Seems to be a theme here across most models... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
