Hello mates,
My name is Eric, and I'm a proud owner of a 1995 Q45. I noticed recently my brake light started coming on - temporarily at first, no real rhyme or reason to it going off, other than when I would press on the brakes a bit hard/suddenly. Lately, it's been on all the time.
I was Googling this a few moments ago, and found a link on here (sorry, I don't have the URL) which mentioned low brake fluid, which I have already checked. The curious thing was the poster said in his 94 Q, there were two (2) reservoirs for brake fluid. I only see one upon cursory examination of my 1995 Q, which, I have filled.
I have pressed and released the emergency brake repeatedly in varying degrees - sometimes pushing all the way to the floor, and releasing, and other times just partially down, and then releasing - all to no avail. Additionally, the car does not drive as if the emergency brake is engaged.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BONUS POINTS: My car tends to not idle properly at when at a stop sign or red light. While watching the TAC, it will come down to about 250-300, go back up to 500, go back down to 300, and then sometimes stall out. Not always, but increasingly much lately. Any suggestions on this, would also be greatly appreciated. I love my Q, and it's all I have right now.
Thank you very much
Eric
