Well brought my Jetta into local shop to overhaul the rear brakes that were in need of a little loving. They put new rotors, calipers, and pads on. Figured it would be routine work but when I pulled out of their lot the red brake light on the dash came on and starting beeping....no good.
We hooked up their Snap On scan gauge and some codes popped up for other things I'm aware of but we couldn't find anything in regards to this brake light. Fluid was topped off and we double checked that and no issue with brakes working.
I ended up driving it home and should have known better but took it up to work to put some miles on it red light beeps initially and stays on never goes off. Tried driving it a 2nd day up to work and engine and whole dash started just shutting down on me. Now I get 30-60 seconds of power before it kills everything then its like it takes couple minutes to reboot/cycle and all of a sudden dash comes back to life and car will fire back up for a short period.
What kind of quirk/German/VW thing did these guys screw with while doing the brakes? I've had some weird stuff in the past with electrical/computer things on here and its way too much of a coincidence that this happened right after the brakes were changed never had this light/issue in the 10 years I've owned this.
Hoping you guys have some ideas here cause the shop wants to start throwing parts at the problem and I highly doubt that is going to fix the issue. Anyone else had a similar problem in the past???
Thanks
