Hi all.

Did a U-turn very quickly and the traction control light flashed, then under acceleration the brake warning light flashed at me. Then went off. Hasn't come back on. I got home and thought I'd check the level of the fluid. The cap doesn't have a dipstick (nothing is simple). I wondered if VCDS would shed any light on the level or any fault codes.

In addition, some history:

Recently the N/S/R exterior keyless door lock button stopped working. No biggy. Contact cleaner didn't help. I mention this as there is a central convenience fault logged.

When I bought the car a year ago I scanned it on the test drive and the battery regulation fault that is present now, was then. So again, no biggy. The car starts fine.

When in the brake module I scanned for faults, there weren't any. I ran an output test (I know now I should t have). DIS went a bit nuts and a fault code 14 I think was logged. I read the procedure for clearing this on Rosstech's site, and tried to clear this, without luck.

So, to the scan:

Can anyone shed any light on what may be the cause of the brake light, is there a way to manually check the fluid level?

Could a dicky battery be the cause of random faults?

Thanks for reading. John
