Hi lads, The Brake Warning light on the dash is on in my 2004 Volvo S40 as of this morning.. Now it was -12 last night but I'm pretty sure that would have no effect on the brake oil in the reservoir?? THe manual says that the light is on because the level is low?? I havent had a chance to check it out yey, just in to work…

THe manual says that the light is on because the level is low?? I havent had a chance to check it out yey, just in to work now.

Im beginning to lean towards the pads tho' ...I think they may be gone and thats why the fluid is low??

The car has very low mileage 60k and is v well maintained and I did have it booked in for a service in the middle of January.

What do ye think??

Thanks
Mike

I'd guess pads also. Take the wheel off to have a good check, if you can't

see the pads properly. Better to get them done sooner rather than later.
