More info from you needed:

For starters >>>

What year car?

Does it have ESP?

When does the warning come on?

What's the car doing specifically at the time?

Are your front brake pads getting thin?

Have the brake pads been changed recently?

hi there and thanks for getting back to me.
my A8 is 2002 model,the car has got the ESP,the warning lights [ABS&TRACTION CONTROL] come on when i'm in a normal driving mode,not speeding or cornering.i can feel the ABS kicking in when i apply the brakes again i'm not doing any kind of speed.i have had the brake pads changed in the last six weeks or so.the new pads that we fitted did have the wear indicator leads.i also said in my other thread that the wear indicator light comes up on the DIS when i touch the brake pedal.
If you need any more information please get back to me.
many many thanks Paul [paulieboy]
