I looked through the A8 forum database but couldn't find anything about this.

My brakes seem to stick when I pull up after coming to a stop. Sometimes it only seems to happen to one of the brakes because the steering wheel briefly pulls slightly to one or the other side. Also, after the brakes stick like that and I only accelerate to about 20 mph and push the brake pedal even slightly, I get the vibration in my pedal as if I was activating ABS. Yesterday my ABS, Traction and Brake warninglights lit up. After turning the engine off and on I was able to reset these warninglights which haven't lit up since.

Any opinions about what I should be looking for? Dirty sensors?

Thanks guys! (1997 A8 3.7 FWD, no mods whatsoever)

Hello,

When was the brake fluid last changed? You might have
old fluid that has absorbed a lot of water. That might
be causing problems in the calipers.

Good luck,
Barry

Thanks for your ideas. I'll check my brake fluid!

I had it fixed at Audi Schaumburg for about $250. Car runs fine again!
