Does anyone know what the warning sign of a circle with three dots around either side of it could mean on the dashboard of a '06 VW golf??
Cheers in advance:)

These are usually all in the manual somewhere, is it orange or red? A picture of it might help us identify it.

Got mine changed last year, I don't think it was all that expensive, they will probably change the brake fluid as well. Its a routine task so no reason to be concerned, ring around for a quote.

One thing they may not tell you is that after you get them changed they take a while to bed in properly so for the first few days/weeks brake carefully and early as you may take a few feet more to come to a halt.

Thanks RandomAccess, that's good advice. Especially as it's winter now it'll be extra important!
