EPB packed up tonight - is it the cold?

So EPB fault, no EPB available, get an error when you brake to a stop as well but it only says EPB fault.

Could it be the cold? Do they get stuck? Do I need a dealer or should I try a bit of reverberation resolution? (i.e. smack it with a hide mallet)

sloping driveway and small children are things that mean need the EPB to work...

If its screaming, then get it sorted asap or you will knacker the actuator. Don't apply it if is screaming.

Thanks, been a D3 owner long enough to know this, it does not scream since I took over adjustment from the dealer Rolling Eyes

This is no pull it seems. May be a fuse come to think of it, will check which one to check.

Used to get screamers til I found a dealer that knew what they were doing. Mr. Green

Its not the fuse.

I get warning lights, yellow and flashing red brake light.

Interesting symptom, when I approach a junction and slow to a stop (no attempt to use EPB) get the alarm and warning.

Maybe its a silly sensor somewhere not the actual EPB?

Car parked on drive in gear with chocks under wheels (drives slopes), nothing says classy luxury motor like some lumps of wood stopping it roll away...
