[s-cars] Brake Light Stays on in Morning

[Sean Douglas]

Thanks to all who responded on this issue.

I did the bomb test and it took about 35 pumps of the brake pedal before
it went hard.

I ended up taking it to the dealer and they measured a pressure drop
over night and replaced the bomb under warranty.

My warranty runs (ran) out in June 04 (Audi Assured), so it looks like I
got this in "under the wire".
