When I turn my wheel to the right, my brake indicator lights up, beeps, then turns off after a few seconds. I know this could mean low brake fluid, so I took it to a gas station and we found the fluid to be full. Is this a sensor issue, since it only happens when I turn the wheel one way, or is it something I should be very worried about?

Ok, so you say the master cylinder is full, but does the computer know that? Unplug the 2-pin connector at the master cyl, and drive it again. Its very likely the float switch is bad. Also, you didn't really say this happens when driving, only when turning the wheel....pretty tough to have this happen if standing still. If so, its not the float in the master cyl. Give more info if that's the case.

If the brakes are working correctly? meaning stopping , correctly ? then its a sensor syndrome take to dealer a Audi Dealer only, it uses( D.o.t. 4 Brake fluid )and you need to know where to look, The A4 Audi is a pretty new vehicle to be having brake problems but then again anything mechanical can fail without warning? good luck

It could be your Front brake pads sensor getting bad or its time to replace the pads. To be sure, remove front tires ( One at a time )
then inspects the pads, pay attention to the inside pads where the caliper push it. Front engine with FWD required 80% of stopping power from the front, therefore, brake pad tends to wearing out prematurely on everyday driving in traffics also pay it tolls. Hope this help!

whoever equipped the pads both forgot to push decrease back the ABS sensors on the hub or skimmed the rotors and did not do a very solid job because the ABS is sensing a wheel lock with the aid of out of real rotors, not in any respect skim rotors on an ABS equipment it isn't accessible to skim them properly adequate at some "brake depot" with a hand operated gadget

yes, it's danguerous if the light comes on meaning that when you turn left of right sensor will come on cuz the break lines are getting pinched or the calipitors are going bad wich will be bad you need to take it in to like a midus shop they do free istaments or pep boys as well
