Brakes locked on after emergency braking or ABS activation
The brake lockup issue in Audi S3 and S3 Sportback models (2013-2020) equipped with the ATE Mk100 ABS/ESC Pump is a significant problem reported by numerous owners. This brake binding fault typically involves the brakes staying engaged after the brake pedal is released or following ABS activation. When the ABS system triggers during hard braking, the brakes may remain stuck or locked, which can be dangerous and unpredictable for S3 drivers. This brake sticking issue with the S3's braking system is often challenging to diagnose, as it may not trigger any fault codes, making it difficult for technicians to identify the exact cause. The problem can be intermittent, complicating efforts to pinpoint the vehicle's malfunction.
