Brake servo inoperative error

[snatch]

Getting this intermittently but seems to be when car is cold - brakes feel harder to apply.

Booked into dealership but wondering if I should stop driving it altogether?

Anyone experienced this?

As an aside, also getting an error saying stop/start function not working.

Funnily enough i know of a guy who rejected his brand new RS3 FL because he had brake servo issues, to the point it became dangerous when he was braking.

Car went back to the dealer and they ordered him a new one.

Stop/start could be down to the battery state or dependant on how many consumers you have drawing current.

If it's a second hand car maybe the previous owner disabled it and that's why you are getting the error.

I’ve called Audi Assist, problem seems to be getting worse and I don’t feel comfortable taking a car on the road if the brakes are compromised!

Had the car since new, it’s 18months old, so will be covered by warranty, just a bit annoying.

plus VW tech can’t come until 7am tomorrow

Audi Assist came this morning and replaced the brake servo sensor.... and we’re back in business!

They did that on the drive? That is excellent can’t fault that.

Did you get one of the VW tech’s in the silver van and not just the AA?
