Dash brake symbol flashing.

Post by Yakyak »

Hello all. Am new to forum. And looking for advice.
Bought my better half a 6n2 polo 1.4 auto. Lovely tidy little car. But.... It has an annoying flashing light on the dash so looking forward advice as to possible fault.
The brake symbol on the dash is constantly flashing...
I'm thinking it could either be the sensor on top of master brake cylinder .. or pad low...
As not had the chance to check either I would appreciate any ideas /soultions.... Please....
Thank you in advance...

These dont have pad wear sensors, so itll be low brake fluid or a faulty MC cap

Just had this issue .. resulted in having another abs pump and controller. Plus front and rear abs sensors on passenger side... This has resolved the issue and the buzzer nolonger sounds on start up .... Hope this helps
