Yeah, the warning light is driving me crazy! And the error memory definitely has something stored. What exactly was wrong with yours? Was it a big job to fix?

Yep, sounds like the same problem. For me, it turned out to be a defective electric motor in the brake calliper, just like you suspected. Honestly, I wouldn't try to fix it yourself unless you really know what you're doing. It's best to get it to a workshop for proper brake diagnostics.

Just wanted to say I took it to the workshop, and you were right! It was the electric motor in the brake calliper. Cost me 505€, but at least it's fixed. Thanks again for the help!

FORMENTOR

Oh no, that sounds familiar! I had a similar brake fault issue with my Formentor not too long ago. The electronic brake just wouldn't engage sometimes, and then the warning light would appear. Did you check the error codes?
