Golf mk4 sdi brake light problem??

Hi. Ive had a light on my golf mk4 sdi for a few weeks. I havent got the manual for the car but bought the haynes one and it doesnt have a list of what the warning lights are. The light thats come up is a round disc with what looks like brake pads either side. Ive replaced the pads and they had no sensors on so it couldnt be that. ive checked the fluid level and tried it with minimum and max levels and now back to in the middle and still it stays on. I was wondering if anyone out there new what this light is?
Could it be abs problem? without the manual or a reference to what the light is im a little stuck.
Cheers Steve

What colour is this light.
The Golf mk4 sdi certainly should have brake pad wear sensors front and rear and the light on dash for this is orange with a similar symbol to what you describe.
The ABS light is orange with ABS printed on it

Mk 4 golf gti emmishions light

Have the computer scanned. If you have a service engine or emissions light on then a service code has been stored in the computer and only a scan will tell you what the problem is.

Mk4 gti 1.8t cut out

it might be the e break sensor . ive heard of them causing shut downs . also check all fluid levels if your coolant is too low the sensor will shut it down lol. and i think theres a break light recall that might have something to do with it . take it in to vw if you have the means for a scan . of find someone in your area with a vag com . it can read the error codes from the computer . good luck

Golf MK4 Handbrake blocking

Seems like your rear brakes are staying stuck in locked position when you release the E-brake. Try to adjust the e-brake from under the car first. If that does not work then remove the rear drum, and there is a adjustment bolts. Turn it a few turns put back on the drum and try again.
