Passat (B5) :: ABS And Brake Light Came On With Beeping Buzzer
My wife's 1998 Passat's ABS and Brake lights both comes on along with that beeping buzzer. Everything is norm from start up, but after driving about 10 miles or so the ABS/brake light& buzzer show starts up.
It seems the ABS is working because my wife found a patch of sand in a parking lot and jammed on the brakes while the ABS/brake light& buzzer show was going on. She said she could feel the brakes pumping.
We took it in to the dealer and they check the brake pads and sensors. They said that the sensors and pads were ok. They thought it might have been dirty sensor, so they clean them.
Two days later the ABS/brake light& buzzer show came back. But this time my brakes squeal a little if you press on the brake lightly. (cleaning solution got on the brakes?) Also how big a deal is it installing a new ABS black box ? (where is it?)
Passat (B6) :: E-brake Not Getting Engaged - Beeping Noise Turns On?
So I just bought a used 06 Passat VR6 (my third vw) and my e-brake light kept coming on for some reason this morning. I never turned it on so I just followed the manual and held the brake and pressed the button. The e-brake light turns off. So I turn to reverse and then the e-brake light comes on by itself and a funny beeping noise turns on, almost like a siren. I put it in park. I hold the brake and push the button and the e-brake turns off, but the process repeats for about an hour.
Now the e-brake light doesn't come on but the funny siren noise turns on when I put it in anything other than park. The siren sometimes turns off after a few seconds but comes on again while I drive, and then disappears. My e-brake is not engaged during this time. What could be the problem?
Passat (B5) :: Tach At 0 - Oil / Brake Light Flashing And Beeping
So my girlfriends passat is starting to have some problems. It looks like a light show on the dash. When driving it, every now and then (a lot more now) the tach goes dead, and the oil and brake light flash, and it starts beeping. The car also has a ABS light on but that has been on for a long time.
So far I've checked both the oil and brake fluid levels, and checked all the fuses. Everything is good there. It just seems funny that they all go at once. I figure maybe one of the plugs to the cluster is loose giving everything a zero reading? I need to buy a vag cable and software some time that's for sure.

Driving a 2008 Passat with a factory 6 disc radio installed noticed a faint beeping sound after applying the brake when the SAT Radio is selected? I hear it all the time, especially when I'm listening to talk show and the volume is up high. Surprisingly, it doesn't make that sound when I have the CD Player selected.

The light in my wife's 03 Passat keeps coming on and beeping...the car will not "act up" when we take it to the dealership ( under warranty ) and they claim to have cleaned the O2 sensors. It never fails, she drives it home from the dealership and the CEL comes on and beeps a few times once she has driven about 10 minutes. Car runs great, but we don't know if it's hurting gas mileage.

I have 57K miles on my 1.8t. It runs great except for the first start of the day. About half of the time, first thing in the morning it runs rough for the first 30 seconds. Like it is running on 2-3 cylinders. Then it sorts out and runs great the rest of the day. I took it to my dealer where they charged me $200 to replace the spark plugs. I would prefer to fix this myself if I can.

My brake fluid is fine and fuses 5 & 9 are good. Brake lever is all the way down as well. Have read that for some simply replacing the cap worked. Car is a 2000 w/170K. BTW, A/C does not work, clutch not spinning, fuses ok there as well. I've made sure a/c button is not on nor is recirc button. Some have said probe can be related to this but that also can show up with a bad fuse # 5, but mine is good.

I bought a 2002 passat glx auto with the abs/brake light malfunction. So I replaced the abs module with a part from a 2001 passat 1.8t manual, the numbers matched exactly. The abs/brake light is off, my question is that since mine is an automatic and the part was from a manual, do I need to recode the abs if the lights are not on?

My 2002 wagon had decided to display the BRAKE warnings, the ones where the word BRAKE flashes in the right side instrument cluster and a big STOP appears in the MFD. Sometimes it alsondings, sometimes not. Sometimes these warnings show and then disappear, while other times they remain on.
The brake fluid level is fine. Is this the result of a bad sensor? What's the best next step?

Pontiac - Bonneville :: Brake Light Inside Car Starts Beeping
I was driving to church this morning when my brake light inside my car starts beeping. As soon as I put it in park and back into reverse it quit beeping. I am just wondering if this needs to be looked at asap. My brakes work fine. I can stop suddenly and everything. My dad changed my front brakes earlier this year and is going to do my back ones soon.
View 4 RepliesVolkswagen - Golf :: Brake Indicator Light Lit Up And Beeping Intermittently
I drive a 2000 VW Golf with 148K miles on it. One Saturday this summer my brake indicator light started lighting and beeping intermittently as I was driving. My brakes were operating fine so I did not read my owners manual until I reached my home. It indicated that I needed to have a qualified mechanic check it immediately but as it was almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon I couldn't find a mechanic in any gas station or garage. As I had a 200 mile drive to do the next day, I purchased brake fluid and carefully followed all of the directions for checking and filling my brake fluid.
However, when I took the cap off of the reservoir, the reservoir really looked fine and I was only able to add about a teaspoon max of brake fluid. However, when I tried driving the car, it seemed that the problem was solved as the brake indicator light did not come on again. Approximately 3 months later now the brake indicator light is intermittently going on again: about every other day. It goes on and then shortly after it goes off and then it doesn't come on again for a day or two.
Inasmuch as I added such a small amount of brake fluid last time I'm really not sure that the problem is actually with the fluid. I wondered if perhaps it was more of a vacuum problem or that by opening the reservoir some air escaped or something of that nature. I also wonder if possibly there's a component that's giving a false reading. At any rate, I'm a little white-haired old lady and there's a limit to what I can do on my car myself and I'm also a target whenever I go into a shop to get the most expensive diagnosis and fix. I'd like to go in to a shop with good information so that it doesn't become an expensive fishing expedition. What could be causing this?
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Beeping Brake Warning Light When Go Up Steep Driveway
Had the 2003 Jetta in for inspection, and he said the rear brake caliper was gone. SO he replaced it.
Now in the morning when I leave for work, as I go up my steep driveway, the brake warning light comes on and beeps at me. Then it stops.
On the way home, as I come up the steep road to my driveway, the warning light comes on and beeps at me!
All other times and all other driving, it's fine.
Passat (B5) :: 2002 1.8L - Brake Fault Warning Comes On Intermittently
I've recently replaced all my brake pads front and back. After doing so, the Break Fault warning would come on intermittently (This warning would come on prior to replacing the pads on long hard right turns very sporadically). I tried bleeding the front breaks again, but after doing so the brake fault warning stays on continuously.

So I picked up a 2002 passat 1.8T autotragic from a guy because a shop said it had a bad computer. After bringing it home and talking to some local volkswagen mechanics they said it couldn't be the computer because the car would still crank. I jumped the trigger wires and the car starts right up no problems and runs perfect for sitting for a year. My question is what could be the problem? I changed the ignition switch and replaced the 40amp fuse by the computer. I am trying to flip the car so I am hoping its not a big problem and have to part the car out.
