So a new issue popped up lately. Whenever I make right turns the brake warning chimes 3 times flashes the brake light. Says Stop and brake fault. Anyone experience this? 05 Passat TDI wagon. BSM delete. 5 spd swap.

Or the wires going to the brake pads are cracking and breaking !

New pads and rotors couple months ago. This just started. 230,000 on the car. Maybe a wire issue to the pads?

Low on fluid or bad fluid level sensor.

Fluid level is fine, first thing I checked. Once I pull the wheels and check wiring I’ll reply with the findings. I’m betting the wiring is the culprit. Stay tuned.

+1. The low pad warning is just a light, nothing more.

I had that on one of my B5.5's - I swapped the fluid reservoir sensor, mine had an intermittent issue showing low fluid when it wasn't low.

So I messed with the reservoir, tapping and shaking it around a bit. Seems to have fixed the issue. I guess the level sensor was the culprit. Been a couple days and no warning.
