    Hi,

    just wondering what would be the reason for brake warning light in Volvo S40,

    I tought the reason would be low brake fluid level but this is not the case, to make the warning even more strange is that the car only shows the warning in tight corners(when driven fast), not in normal driving.

    Are you sure its a brake warning light? and are you sure the fluid isnt low?

    It does sound like low fluid.

    Is it a red light (!) or is it more like (O)

    It is the red warning light like you posted above.

    I checked the fluid and it is ok, well compeletely black tough:( but there is enough fluid.

    Well get it to a garage & drive slowly. I assume you are not driving with the handbrake partially on.

    I was thinking the handbrake as well, but I do not think that is the reason, I have to find out more then.
