Hello fed up with Audi.

 

The brake. Pressure sensor location and fitment is well documented on YouTube, with idiot proof guide for us less than competent mechanism.

I bought a genuine one off eBay, for £38, and it took me 2-3 minutes to fit it.

open bonnet, bulkhead offside, pull of the rubber moulding, and lift the plastic panel to access the servo. You will then see the brake pressure sensor attached to a tube which lead to the servo.

on the sensor, pull back the white clip and disconnect the electric plug. 
Reach in, and either side of the sensor there are two plastic clips which hold it in place, ease these two clips apart, and pull the sensor upwards. You will hear a rush of air as it disconnects from servo.

Replacement is as easy as removal. 
Problem solved in 2 minutes for which the stealership wanted £425!,,,,,,

good luck.

Larry, Gareth. Thanks for your help. I bought the genuine part from Audi for £83 as I’m still in PCP with them. An Audi technician then showed me the wrong location for the sensor, indicating it was behind the brake pedal under the dash. Spent an hour removing various bits of plastic and upending myself to no avail, I then took to you tube prior to your message coming through Larry. Found the sensor and replaced it in about 3 minutes as you said. That didn’t clear the stop/start fault which happened at the same time, but I found another you tube clip in which a guy said to remove the wire connected to the side of the battery, reconnect it and that should reset the fault….and of course it did. I dread to think how much Audi would have charged me for that little lot, and I am somewhat flummoxed as to why the technician showed me the wrong area of the car to find the sensor. 
 

Regardless, thank you so much for your assistance and advice. Happy driving!!!

Thanks Gareth. I have the part. Now does anyone know where it is on a 2019 q5. Technician told me behind the pedal under console but I cannot find it? 

Cancel. Nowhere near the pedal. Next to the brake fluid reservoir under bonnet ahead of steering wheel under plastic cover.

Just look back through the numerous posts - and on EBay - and I’m sure you will find one.

Kind regards,

Gareth.

Well, 227 views of this subject, and not one reply !
Having done my own enquires, I have obtained a new Audi brake pressure sensor for £38. Audi wanted £90! 
I have fitted it myself, it took at least 3 minutes, and my problem is resolved, simples! That would appear to be a stealership saving circa £400 !

Vor Sprung Dork !Removed! Technic !!!!!!!!!!!

This has just happened to my 2019 Q5, just out of warranty! 24K miles. Does anyone happen to know the part number for the sensor, I’m happy to give changing a sensor a bash before being fisted by Audi…again.
