Very grateful new member

Hi all,

New to this site and just wanted to say thank you as it’s already saved me a fortune! My 2017 A5 came up with the “brake servo restricted contact workshop” and start/stop faults the other day with the brake pedal also feeling funny as if it was jolting whilst braking. Being utterly inept at anything technical as I am my usual instinct is to just take it to the dealer or local VAG specialist to sort out but having come across this site and read a few threads on it I am so happy I never as it’s saved me hundreds of pounds. Simply bought a new brake servo pressure sensor from Audi and fitted it myself which must’ve taken no longer than 5 minutes, it’s scandalous that any workshop would charge you excessive labour to do it… my beloved blue machine is now back to full health so seriously thank you very much for this site, I look forward to using it from now on.

Cheers Gareth 😊 it gets hammered daily because I’ve a 60 mile round trip commute to work and it’s my first “premium brand” car so I make sure it gets plenty of TLC in return. Had it 2 years and so far only visits to the garage have been for wear and tear replacements and routine servicing however had I have not found you guys on here the fault I mentioned would’ve been an expensive trip, someone mentioned a dealer charging around £350 😬 so again massively grateful and will seek advice on here if whenever I need it in the future 👍
