Hi there everybody,

My Polo 9N 1.4 Tdi has started to flash its orange coil light at me. I did some reading and found out about the brake sensor problem, and that it could be causing it.

So i checked the brake lights and all would appear fine

Is it possible that it could still be an issue with this sensor, even though it seams to be working normally? Or is it likely to be something more sinister

I don't have VAG COM so I can't check the error codes myself.

Thanks

Mark

is it your brake wear warning light.. meaning your front pads are worn to the limit..? if so they will need replacing

i have the 1.4 TDI 9n and mine started to flash at me too the coil light that is and it turned out it was my brake light switch underneath the brake pedal basically i drove 100 miles with no brake lights lol

I think the brake light switch cost me few quid from dingbro isnt a dear part if u change it just incase it is still faulty

Thanks for the replies. I managed to get the codes read and it is the brake switch.

I also have all the usual heater flap faults and, 00898 Control Circuit A/C compressor, 010 - Open or Short to Plus. Anyone any ideas what causes this.

Thanks

Mark
