Hi all,
As the title says yesterday I got the brake servo restricted message, after finishing my short drive I completely shut down the car and upon starting it again there was no message. Another thing I noticed after looking online was most people were reporting that when the servo message displayed they would also get another message stating that auto start stop was not available. This never materialised in my case for some reason. I did however take it straight to Audi which was a mistake after now realising how easy the repair is to perform yourself but I was worried about the possibility of ABS module damage.
Long story short I got Audi to email me the picture of the diagnostic result from their inspection and this is what they sent, I'm hoping someone who knows their diagnostic software can explain it a little more for me. By the looks of it the code displayed is indeed the code that pertains to just the sensor being the issue however Audi are ranting on about the possibility of more parts needing replaced after the sensor, that is absolutely not happening if I have anything to say about it. They also tried to charge me over £750 for 4 new brake pads and £422 for 2 new lower spring mounts...
Thanks in advance
Sean
