Audi A5 Engine problem

Faiche Ro · 2014-01-31 15:08:05

Have a 2010 A5, was siting in traffic yesterday and the car just shutdown (engine died, all electrics went off) there was a message on the screen saying "Brake line failure - contact workshop" right before it went dead. I left it a few minutes then started it up again. Drove it for an hour afterwards but was all fine…

I left it a few minutes then started it up again. Drove it for an hour afterwards but was all fine since. There has been no fault lights on before or after that event.

Anyone have a similar problem? Any ideas
(ive been trying to get through to the audi service centre in sandyford to see how much to run a diganostic on it but cant get them to answer the phone)

Only have the car a week!

Diagnostic with audi is probably an hours labor, so I'd say €100 or more plus vat.
Someone here with vcds could do it a lot cheaper, gives the same results as the audi diagnostic.
