Skoda Karoq Brake Fluid Warning and Spongy Pedal

My 2019 Skoda Karoq with a gasoline engine is acting up. Mileage is around 143911 km. The brake fluid warning light came on and the brake pedal feels spongy. I suspect it's worn car brakes causing the low brake fluid. Anyone else experienced this?

I had a similar issue with my Karoq. The brake pedal felt weird and the warning light came on. Have you checked your brake pads? Could be they're worn and causing the fluid level to drop.

Interesting. How worn were your brake pads when you had the problem? And did you just top up the brake fluid or do a complete fluid replacement?

Mine were pretty thin. I'd suggest getting them checked soon. Topped off the fluid initially, but the mechanic recommended a full fluid replacement when the pads were done. Honestly, I think you should get it to a workshop.

Thanks for the insight. Turns out the low brake fluid was indeed due to worn pads. Got them replaced, fluid topped up, and it cost 480€. Pedal feels normal again.
