I was late so i was doing like 80 Coming around a corner the brake light came on and was flashing then went out as soon as i came out of the corner? Any one have any ideas? My thoughts were wheel bearing possibly?

Thanks,

Brake light flashing when coming around the corner sounds like you are low on brake fluid. check your fluid out before you take any expensive measures.. Audi B6 requirement is Dot 4. The break light will flash with 2 or 3 loud beeps even though e-break is off..

Let us know what happens.. top-up you fluid and test out on the corners again..

Sometimes it's the simplest thing.

Just want to know which kit dealer have installed??
