Breaks locks up - 1996 Audi A6

Cheak power oil right side of the engine

have friend bump car just a little to move it apply break put on parking break
start vehicle press brake take out of gear let off emergency brake
you park on hill so this is called shift lock always use the emergency parking break when on hill so you dont get shift lock

Is the break pedal stiff? with the ABS light on and the break light on sounds like your breaks might be locked or locking up which could be why the transmission isn't shifting

yes replace the disk calipers on both front wheels. Or clean the caliper cylinders.

Hello

I hae had this happen to my 99. Long story short, one of the springs came apart iside the break drum causing it to lock up. For me it was time to do a break job anyway and the parts store happily sold me a "HARDWARE KIT" that had all brand new springs and locks. Doing the whole break job myself was about 50 dollars if I rememeber but any break shop should be able to handle this problem as well.

Best of luck

After cover has been remove you'll see the bolts that hold the lock, when lock was install the head of the bolts are made to break off for theft reasons, get a small chisel and hit the bolt as to loosen it, once it breaks loose they'll come off easy, when installing new lock keep turning bolt till the head of the small bolt breaks off, it made to do that.

That would be your power stearing belt. And it can be fairly difficult because all the belt and pulley are very close to the passanger side finder well.

either your antilock brake sensor is not working properly or your switch behind your foot brake is not working properly.

front brake calipers are probably sticking.

it is possible that the calipers are binding when hot. It could also be the brake hoses. If the hoses are collapsing internally it will cause the brakes to drag
