Warning - Brake Servo Inoperative

[Hallam001]

Hi

 

Our Audi A3 is 5 years old with only 11,000 miles on the clock.

 

This morning, I turned on the ignition and immediately saw the warning "Brake servo inoperative" accompanied by a series of high pitched beeps. The warning disappeared quite quickly as did the beeps. I took the car out onto our pretty quiet road to test the brakes, and they appeared to work perfectly normally, though the beeps did come on from time to time. I have tried turning the ignition on and off a few times but the warning had not reappeared. However, when I am stationary with the engine on, the beeps will start if I press on the brake pedal. 

 

Can anyone thrown any light on this?

 

Thanks.
