Does that car have brake wear sensors? I'd guess if it's doing it when you release it's either measuring brake pressure or pad wear. Could be an ABS issue also, but that should trigger a slightly different fault I'd imagine. I don't know much about Audi stuff.

It should, and thats most likely his problem. The reason is one of a few things.

1. Brake pad sensors are telling you to change your brakes
2. wear sensors are malfunctioning (very unlikely)
3. brake fluid is JUST low enough that when the pedal is fully depressed the fluid goes down just enough to trigger the sensor in the fluid reservoir.
4. you have a possible electrical short somewhere, and when you hit the pedal it causes that reaction.

its not ABS related because there is a seperate light for those issues I believe...

The funny thing is we could narrow it down a lot if he just told us which light it was. Audis have a couple of different brake warning lights.

yeah but that would require OP to have common sense,

if OP had common sense then he would have figured this out and never created this thread...

it's funny how that works isn't it. haha
