Audi A3 brake fault! Drive carefully to nearest workshop. Part 1 - diagnosis and dismantling.

This 2009 Audi A3 greeted us with a LOT of warning lights one morning. This is the first of 2 parts on diagnosing and fixing the fault.

It's a 2009 Audi A3 1.9 TDi sportback, 8PA model code with approx. 173,000 miles.

The faults on the car were:
Red brake fault light with the message "Brake Fault! Drive carefully to the nearest workshop"
Engine light on.
ESP warning light on.
ABS warning light on.
Steering warning light on.
Odometer not working.
Speedometer not working.
Fuel gauge stuck on full.
Steering heavier than usual.

Not many problems then! A code scan with VCDS revealed a similar number of codes, which I go through in the video.

After the code scan, the video goes through:
-Checking fuses.
-Checking power and earth connections to the ABS pump.
-Removing the ABS pump for repair.

Remember to join me for part 2, which will hopefully feature a fully fixed Audi.
