My shiny new one has 2 years parts and labour 🤣 Original had done just over 20k.

Glad to hear people appear to be having luck when catching it early enough 🙂 Just wish i'd seen this thread earlier and done the same! Got mine back and now fine, £1600 lighter with new ABS unit and sensor. Will check the invoice for part numbers and prices later in case it helps any.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I'd stop driving it now if you can and book in for inspection ASAP. I was fairly surprised when questioned when my dealership said they could get the parts tomorrow and it would be ready by the end of the day, was expecting them to be on back order. I'm the same re: my first Audi and one of the reasons I made the switch was to hopefully avoid issues of this nature, after a long and protracted argument with Ford regarding a major design flaw and known issue. It certainly seems that bare minimum they should have a resolution/update around the servo restricted error in order to clarify the potential seriousness of the issue rather than intimate that continuing to use the vehicle is fine. I also wondered personally, if it's clearly an issue with ABS once it gets that far, why there is no apparent ABS error/warning light.

Anyone any further updates? I've had mine inspected today, knew what was coming when the first question in the phone call following inspection was whether or not I had any extended warranty... As suspected, they've diagnosed it needs a replacement ABS controller which would be a cost of £3200. Before I even reacted, they told me that because I have a service plan and have booked my service etc with them since getting the car, they'll 'go halves' with me at £1600.00 as a goodwill gesture. On pushing for a reason for failure and mentioning the low mileage/age, they said it was that the hydraulic boost had only a certain number of engagements and the problem/error had caused this limit to be reached. In replacing the controller, they'll also replace the sensor. Given I've not really anywhere else to go with it and really need the vehicle available, I've reluctantly gone ahead and will likely take it up via email with Audi retrospectively, given the nature of the problem and dashboard messages at odds with the seriousness/impact of the issue.

Unfortunately not, not under warranty and not Audi Assist. Bought through a third party to the dealer. After a few voicemails as its currently impossible to get through, just booked in for inspection 3rd June.

Some good info on here thanks, though fear I might have found it too late 😞. After a recent service, I had a sporadic 'Brake Servo: restricted. You can continue driving. Please contact workshop' message. I intended to call and discuss with the dealer, but it disappeared and I saw no obvious change to braking. This message then recently returned and I noticed a light clicking/grinding sound when applying the break at very low speeds (crawling in traffic/slowing for expected traffic light changes/parking), before I've had chance to book in for inspection following it's return, it's now switched over to 'Brakes: fault. Safely stop vehicle' and the red warning, there are no other lights, no ABS light etc. I'm calling the dealership shortly, but with what I've seen in the thread I'm fearful that I've progressed through the 'You can continue driving......' -> '......therefore knackering the ABS' trap 😞 Particularly galling, as I made the switch to an Audi on reputation (and that I've always wanted one) but also necessity, when my Ford Focus trashed it's engine due to a 'known fault' with the Ecoboost cooling system and temperature reporting... Effectively wrecking it's own head gasket/engine one fateful ten minute drive. At 20k miles and feeling still almost brand new, I wasn't expecting a fault of the likely costs if my fears are correct.
