Audi are notorious for EPB switches failing, our 4 Year old FL D4 just had one fail and it decided to not let me turn off the parking brake which was a problem when I was half way through customer meetings! Fortunately I had VagCom with me and used it to go into the brake module and tell the calipers to retract the brakes, and I then just left the handbrake off until I was home. a new switch from Audi at £50 fixed it and now all is good again
Ooh. The switch did pull up a little too easily the other day. Maybe it is that. I’m in morocco at the minute. Will try and email our sponsors.

Thanks buddy.
