[s-cars] 95 S6 Brake light

[Peter Golledge]

I've got the same issues on my wife's S6.  Have replaced both the Bomb and
Master Cylinder.  I'm thinking either a relief valve leak or pump pressure
is dropping.  Either way I need to get a high pressure gauge on the system
to measure it.

Anyone found an adapter from the Audi Metric/banjo arrangement to NPT so
that I can recycle a cheap gauge?

Have you tried the brake master cylinder? One side could be leaking. There
is a test for it but sorry I don't seem to have the info to hand. And just a
wild thought, the ignition switch! This may be influencing the on/off
issues.

My 95 S6 brake light issue has been getting gradually worse for about 3
years. At first it would like many others?just not go out right away at
start up. That has been getting progressively longer and longer and now it
is coming on (off & on) during the drive. I have flushed the fluid, replaced
the bomb (new) and the pump. Fluid is above the line stopped and running. If
idling in the garage and turn the wheel left to right the light will comes
on and go off. Use the brakes it comes on and goes off. Hit a bump it comes
on and goes off The brakes have never given me any obvious reason to be
concerned about failure as they have felt the same through all of this. They
don't feel crisp but not as if they cold fail. The usual bomb test of pedal
pumping with the car off does not give a rock hard pedal after any number of
pumps. Never did. Pads are all good and rotors are normal for their miles.
Equipped with G60s & drilled rotors. I would like it to feel sharp like the
URQ with the same equipment. Any ideas? TIA
