Hello!
I need some help.... my dashboard keeps showing me this sign (bremsanlage)... I only have a german manual... on page 55 it says brems und hydraulikanlage- can you please tell me what might be the problem? I know it has something to do with the brakes but please give me more info about this if you can.
Best regards,
Karol

Hi,
I haven´t got a manual yet but I think there are three alternatives:
1. Brake fluid on low level
2. Brake accumulator (pressure reservoir) is worn out.
3. Hydraulic oil level is low

1. Check fluid level. If it is low, find out the reason why. Worn brake pads, or some leakage (hoses, pipes, master cylinder) might be the cause.

2. If the dashboard indicates the sign after engaging the brake pedal for a couple of times, the accumulator is definitely worn. In this case, there is even no more brake boost available. The bake pedal feels as hard as stone under this conditions.

3. Check oil level. If it is low, check for leaks.

it turned out to be the fluid level... I'll check what might be the cause.
Thank you very much for the help ;-)
