Audi 5000 - problem with blinking lamp "brake"
Hello! I have an problem with my Audi 5000S '86.
After a few seconds when I turn the key, the red warning lamp "brake" starts to blink on the computer indicator. Could anybody explain me what sensor is responsible for this lamp? Does anybody have an electric scheme for audi 5000S?
Any sugestion will be helpful.
Thanks for advance.

Very common problem
It is probably low power steering fluid(ONLY USE CORRECT FLUID, not regular ps fluid) #G002000 hydraulic fluid. If that isn't it next check the 'bomb'. Do a search for the bomb test. Almost everyone has had this problem. Hope this helps.

Re: Very common problem
The light indicates:
- low hydralic fluid (Sensor on top of round hydralic fluid bottle) Add Pentosin ONLY like Moving violation says.
- Low hydralic pressure (sensor on hydralic servo just behind brake master cylinder)
- Low brake fluid (sensor on cap of brake master cyklinder tank)

Re: Very common problem
Your brake pad wear sensors will trip this indicator too. To bypass them you can disconnect them and stick a paper clip or something across the two contacts in the connector. You need to do it to both brake pad wear sensors at the same time. All of the other sensors need to be open, so simply disconnect the power steering fluid level sensor, the brake fluid level sensor and the two wires which attach to the master cylinder hydraulic pressure sensor. If you do all of this your light will go out unless the box is bad, but that is unlikely. you can then reconnect them one by one til the light comes on and you'll know what you have to fix.
