Audi A3 Hybrid problems with the electric handbrake

Hey, I recently had a similar problem with my Audi A3 (built in 2016, TDI). I have some experience with cars, but I'd say more of an "average" experience. In my case, the problem was a defective control unit. I had to go to the workshop and spent almost 1000 euros to have the control unit replaced. If you need more detailed information or want to know what happened next, please give me your exact vehicle details. Maybe I can then give you even better tips! Best regards!

Hey, thanks for your answer! My A3 currently has 98765 km on the clock. I've already checked the fuses, but they all seem to be OK. Could this also be the case with my control unit? Best regards!

Hey, no problem, gladly! Yes, with your mileage it's possible that the control unit has given up the ghost. If you've checked the fuses and they're all OK, that's good. I also had various electronic problems with my Audi A3 (similar model year), and in the end it was the control unit that had to be replaced. I would advise you to check again whether there are any error messages in the on-board computer. This will give you more clues as to what it could be. If you know someone who has a diagnostic device, I would have another check carried out. It doesn't always have to be a workshop, but in most cases the control unit is a very special thing that you can't easily check or repair yourself. I hope this helps you. If anything is still unclear, just ask! Best regards!

Hey, thanks for the tip! I'll see if I can find someone with a diagnostic tool and check if the on-board computer is showing anything. Hopefully it's not the ECU, but good to know what I should look out for. Thanks again for your help! Regards!
