Abs sensor failure on 2000 audi s4 quattro. Light came on at 114,213. Leading to the brake light to flash along side of it and beep every other minute when your driving down the road.

The 2000-2002 audi s4s have a very large problem with the informational gauge cluster screen failing. This is a safety issue as well an extremely common problem. It fails to alert you of things wrong with the vehicle like brake pad wear, taillight malfunctions, engine issues, vehicle speed, temperate (issue when its gets freezing). This is mostly due to relying on this screen for so many years. Manual checks can be done obviously but it fails without warning and that can be to late in many cases. *Tr

Instrument cluster problem in 2000 audi s4 the instrument cluster digital screen has all of its pixels missing or messed up. It is especially worse when the heat increases. This problem is dangerous to me because this screen tells me what problems my car is having, weather my coolant is low, headlights working, etc. It warns me of nothing if I cannot see it.
