I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. -I have a hunch it comes from the ride height sensors, but i donīt know. I also read somwhere that this can happen if the car is parked unflat -like in terrain or something.

I used to get this once or twice each month, sometimes more, sometimes less.
Today it came on all 5 times the car was started.
Car has been sitting in level 2 for over a month. -No deflation or other kinds of trouble with the air ride.

I start the car, as soon as i step on the brake to switch to D/R, these buddys light up my dash, all at the same time.

I am thankful for all tips and thoughts, so I can start troubleshooting.
Thanks!

The (0) one in the center is your brake pad warning. The electronic stability program uses the brakes, so that's probably why that one shows.

Thanks.
I know what the lights mean one and one, but the fact that the come on like they do, makes me believe this is some kind of safe-mode for the suspension.
ABS and ESP use a lot of common sensors, could there be a wheel speed sensor or something?

Braking compound warning came on not that long ago, I never thought that could have anything to do with the rest of the warnings. However, like I said, it does come on the same second i step on the brake..

Jumper the connectors on the front pads with paperclips and see if the lights all go away. If not, then you probably have some other sensor issue.

Search for brake light switch - I believe that is what causes the trifecta of warning lights to go on.

Kneale, the new discs and pads are going on this week, guess iīll wait and see.

JustMtnB44 - You might be on to something. Do you now where the switch is, located on the brake pedal?

Today, when i drove home from work, i started the engine, waited for 10 secs, and then pushed in the brake and set the car in R. No warnings at all today.
So this is some kind of sporadic issue.

yesterday, god the three warnings, found out i had no brake lights.
So I ordered a brake light switch.
Seems to be intermittent though, works like a charm today.

Yup.

I had the same thing happened and it turned out to be the brake pedal switch.

Scan the car....

I've seen all of these turn on for these reasons in the past:

ABS module issues
Steering angle sensor not aligned
MAF giving improper readings
Brake pedal switch problems
Short in tail lights electrical that was energizing brake light circuit

Without VCDS/VAG-COM scan it will be hard to pinpoint.
