Default Brake accumulator/ brake bomb

Hello!

I'm new at the forum.

I have some issues with my Audi 100 Quattro Avant 1991.

It seems like the front right brake calipper is fastening while driving, but the workshop can't find any defects with it.

I've read a bit and figured out it might be the brake accumulator or brake bomb that is a type of hydraulic brake pressure assistant that might be defective.

The brake pedal is also kinda hard to push and there are a light at the dash panel being lit up when i push the brake pedal.

There seems like it's not much of a reinforcement when push the pedal.

Do anybody have experience with this type of fault or my type of car?

If You are doubting to on the brake bomb, remove the bomb after depressor system and insert the screw driver into hole and see what do you feel? Good bomb is not go down too far(good one may be 2~3" depth) I think. Good luck. x19
