Do all "break" lights illuminate when you press the pedal?

If not, correct by replacing with the correct incandescent bulb(s).

If the do light up, confirm that none are riced out LED's. If they are LED's, replace with the correct incandescent bulb(s) to confirm that is the cause of the alarm. From there do as you please. My opinion, that has not been asked for would be to drive the car with stock lighting. If you want LED brake lights, buy a newer model TT.

I have checked that all the break lights work when i press the pedal, i have no LEDS other than the reverse lights & license plate lights, i have replaced them with the regular incandesent bulbs but still nothing.. So my conclusion maybe the cluster is just acting up or maybe i might have a short somewhere
