     Brake light bulb with loose filament or bad contact.  Replace all your 
     brake light bulbs and the symbol will go away.

In the month and half I've had my '92 100CSQ the brake warning symbol has 
gone on three times [the symbol is a circle with arcs on either side. 
Somthing like "(0)"].
     
The was first time was about four weeks ago it went on was about a minute 
after I showed a friend how the self-diagnostic button works. The second 
time was the following day. I checked the brake fluid level, which was 
fine. When I restarted the car the warning symbol wasn't there and it 
displayed "OK". The third time was this morning as soon as I left the 
local Audi dealer's service department aften an oil change.
     
Since nothing was found during the pre-purchase inspection (done at an 
independent shop) and the inspection done with the oil change, I assume 
there's no obvious problem. However, they weren't aware of the brake 
warning. According to the pre-purchase inspection the brakes had about 70% 
of their pads. 
     
Any ideas?
     
TIA
