Default audi 5000 turbo break light warning

I had all the lines and breaks replaced. the system is not low on fluid and it is not leaking. The break light warning comes on at about 10 seconds when the ok turns off. Would I have to replace the break accumulator?. The breaks are working fine and stop the car well on all circumstances...thx..Also thanks for helping me fine the a/c condenser, it turned out to be a brand new one still in the box from a after market company.

The RED brake warning light?

When you shut off the engine, how many pumps of the pedal to get to where it firms up?

Brake fluid is all good, how about the power steering fluid ? If you're low on pentosin, you'll get the brake light too

Default Brake light comes off sometimes

the power steering fluid is okay especially at 50 a bottle. Can there be air in the system from when I replaced the brakes and lines

Check the sensor in the hydraulic reservoir cap.

Didn't you bleed it ? If there's air, you would know, the pedal goes really low on first push, then stays higher after a few more pushes.

. The brakes are perfectly normal.. The warning goes off after 15 min of driving and only actes up after the brake repair

Does the light go off if you just goose the accelerator while sitting still?

Does the fluid in the reservoir get foamy?

Pumping 20 times when the car is off seems a bit too much, on mine, after the 3rd pump there's not much left, pedal's hard as a brick. If you are not losing fluids, if the brakes are operating normally, I guess the system somehow doesn't recognize something. I do not know if there's an error code for this....
