Hi all, new member, just picked up a 2020 S3, my first Audi. Loving it so far and looking forward to becoming part of the forum🙂 Andy

Always worth inspecting the wiring in the flexible harness section between body and tailgate/boot. Wires are prone to fraction at this point. Perhaps you could let us know if that is the culprit or can be eliminated. Kind regards, Gareth.

Worked mate many thanks. So pleased!

Hi yes that was common practice pre floating callipers when you were replacing pads in fixed callipers I.E. the pads slotted in to the calliper of which the only moving part was the main piston and the pads, these suffered with brake bind and uneven pad wear, the advent of floating callipers this was virtually eradicated as there was more vertical and lateral movement for both calliper and pads to allow for dirt and corrosion inside the calliper, therefore the pads will always release, I have found through experience copper grease can also affect the performance of speed sensors, therefore I only use silicone grease on the pins and Ceratec on the pad runners as both the products have no conductivity. Steve.

In the absence of a service history everything becomes suspect, from battery to ECU to damaged wiring. I suggest you get it tested professionally, because we could be here for weeks trying to locate the problem with endless questions before coming up with a solution.

Apologies for the gripe, but the forum has recently suffered from a spate of what can be termed ‘Post and Run’ new members, who seem to think it’s perfectly acceptable to post a plea for help, and simply not return to view the help given. In a more diluted form, help is offered, but is very rarely acknowledged even via. a simple press of the Like button, leave alone a posted Thank You. The last part of the gripe is that we frequently have to ask for additional information, and this extra detail often never materialises. Please remember, everyone who posts replies do so without payment, but it certainly does cost them in time - in terms of the Moderators and Admin back up - a lot of time. So a special plea to all on here who post needing help:- please be respectful enough to acknowledge any help given, rather than simply accept it as a no-cost, no time of yours, free advice service. It’s wearing thin folks, so if you want to retain this service, please respect and acknowledge its benefits. Thank you all for reading this, and above all, agreeing to adhere to the respect that is needed to be shown. Kind regards, On behalf of the Moderators. Please note:- This request is to all members, not just new ones.

Also he didn't really offer any at all possible solution or cause for the title mentioned errors. I'm kind of disappointed
