Hi MikeMod - I am looking at replacing mine on my S5 (2017). Can I please ask, where it is located on my car?I just bought a 2017 S5 so I thought I would check.

It looks like I have the latest version "B", which according to ETKA was only available from 01/03/21.
Maybe the previous owner had replaced it already or do they all just fail.
I found where the sensor was, ordered a new one, popped it in today (like 5 mins max) and bang, everything is now working again!!! Thanks all!Hi MikeMod - I am looking at replacing mine on my S5 (2017). Can I please ask, where it is located on my car?
Hi, Just looking at your thread as i have the same issue. Have looked up on you tube on how to do it, just wanted to know if it needed coding or you just simply plug and play? Also is the part number the same for all brake servo pressure sensors? Mines a 2017 A4 B9 2.0 TDI Ultra. Thanks in advanceJust to re draw everyones attention to this as it is a potentially costly fault.
It seems from searching around various forums this is now a fairly common problem. It manifests itself as a "Brake servo restricted" warning together with a start/stop fault. Unhelpfully it suggests that you can continue to drive the car, however to do so would be extremely unwise.
I have just suffered this problem and was able to replace the brake pressure sensor myself (part no 5Q0906207B) for £79. Part sourced from local Audi dealer. The guy at the desk said they are now selling multiple sensors a week (and it isn't just the A4). It's a quick fix if you search for "brake servo restricted" online. However, if you continue to drive the car you could end up having to replace the entire ABS system for north of 3k. It has happened to people.
Be warned!
I have 2016 Q7, believe it’s a standard part across models. Plug and play, no need to code.Hi, Just looking at your thread as i have the same issue.

Hi, mine just went mate. simple plug and play sensor, five min job and been fine ever since. Seems it’s a very common problem.Hi I’ve had this fault I’ve just bought a pressure sensor will the fault go away with the new sensor in or will I need a diagnostic to remove the error
Likewise - simply replaced and the fault cleared. My stop/start fault took a few goes of the ignition going on/off to stop coming up, but no issues since.Hi, mine just went mate. simple plug and play sensor, five min job and been fine ever since. Seems it’s a very common problem.

I think I have found it. Attached a couple of pics so it can be of help to whoever might be looking. I'll post back after I've replaced the partkezzamozza, can you help me with locating where this pressure sensor is please? I got this error yesterday and luckily stumbled upon this forum! I've been googling to find out where in a 2016 Q7 this sensor is but haven't had any luck yet.
Yep, that's the one. Mine had a little panel I had to remove under the bonnet, top left if you're standing in front of the car. Should give quite a bit of resistance when removing.I think I have found it. Attached a couple of pics so it can be of help to whoever might be looking. I'll post back after I've replaced the part
