Hi, quick question.. my partners 2011 Audi A1 TFSI shows an intermittent ‘bulb blown’ message on the dash.. I think rear brake bulb, but, the brake bulbs are fine?

She has just had the car serviced, it was due.. and the garage are saying it needs a circuit board replacing to fix the fault. Does this seem reasonable? I asked her if the part replacement is oe, and she said it’s a Bosch part.

Thanks, appreciate any pointers.. the garage is going to provide a quote First.

Edit: Ok, I spoke to the garage, and it seems water is causing corrosion to the rear o/s bulb holder.. this is the circuit board they were alluding too. Makes sense now. They are taking a pic of the corrosion and will replace with new seals.

Bulb or LED?

Bulb it's probably and Earth issue inside the light unit.

LED, it's probably the internal board contacts need cleaning.
