Brake Fluid Filling Issues..
 

Hey, my break fluid was really low and almost didnt work.. Great surprise this morning. But anyway, I bout the proper fluid and began to fill it up in the reserve but it would hardly take any fluid.. I popped the screen out to actually see in the reserve but it shows it is full but the sensor on my dash also still shows that it is low... Is there anyway its not filling into the second "reserve"... not quite sure what its called. Any Ideas on if this is normal and it just has to fully let itself bleed through for a day? or could it be something other then a problem of low break fluid? Need help, thanks! :(

The warning light on the dash is for low brake fluid as you say and also the handbrake on warning light, check the switch and wiring. The partition in the brake fluid reservoir should allow the fluid to be equal in both sections.

Other than that you need to find someone with VAG-COM\VCDS or an EOBD II scanner to scan for any error codes.

Why do my brakes squeal when my brake fluid is low?
I thought I needed to have them replaced due to squeaking but when I filled up the brake fluid it seemed to stop
