1998 Audi A4 Brakes Problems

“The airbag fault light and ABS light have been on ever since I had the vehicle, thinking that it may be a fault by the manufacturer as seeing very common problems in many websites. Another main concerned is the fault of the manufacturer's engine design causing engine damage from oil sludge. My concern is for future prevention measures.”

“The amber ABS warning light glows while the red brake light blinks. I understand newer Audi models have just been recalled for ABS issues, but my 1998 A4 was not included in the recall. Braking appears normal, and warning light illumination is sporadic.”

“The anti lock brake control modulator unit failed, and now I have brakes that do not work. At the slightest pedal pressure, all 4 wheels will have a strong pulsating, giving you about 1/3 of the braking pressure that is needed. Volkswagens used a nearly identical part, and their ABS controller is under recall, I do not understand why NHTSA, cannot force Audi of america to do the same. Thank you”

“My ABS and brake light initially came on intermittently, then began to occur more and more frequently. Now it happens every time that I get into the car. My ABS does not work. A loca Audi dealer told me that this is a very common problem for this year of car. The dealer told me that I needed a new ABS control module ($1100.00) and three hours of labor at $78.00 an hour.”

“1998 manual Audi A4. The temperature was 32 degrees f or below. The conditions were steady snow and wet/icy/slush roads. I experienced complete break failure when exiting the highway to a rest area. I pumped the breaks and regained some breaking power to finally slow the vehicle. I completely missed the proper exiting lane due to lack of breaking. No injuries or damage resulted. This is not the first incident of loss of breaking power.”
