Audi Electronic Parking Brake Control Switch - VNE 4015090

Product Information

An Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) control switch is a cabin-mounted control that electronically engages or releases the parking brake, replacing the traditional handbrake lever. When activated, it sends a signal to the brake actuator motors, which apply or release the rear brakes. The EPB switch enhances convenience, saves interior space, and often integrates with safety features like hill-hold assist.

• Parking brake warning light illuminated on the dashboard.
• Failure to engage or release the parking brake when pressing the switch.
• Intermittent or unresponsive operation, often due to electrical faults or switch failure.

About VNE

VNE GmbH was founded in 2001 by Volker Natorp in Hamburg, Germany. Volker has a long, storied history in the automotive field. He began his career in the 1970s working for Wulf Gaertner and in the 1990s eventually branched out on his own to start his own sales repping agency. During that time, he represented TMD Friction (Pagid/Textar) and managed all of the North American sales for them and eventually added Schaeffler Automotive to his roster.

In 2007, VNE GmbH relocated to Ganderkesee, Germany and was renamed VNE Automotive GmbH & Co. With continuous growth, the decision was made to solely focus on developing VNE Automotive and, in 2014, the focus became reality with the commissioning of a new warehouse and office space. Today, VNE Automotive prides itself on never having followed the aftermarket trend. VNE Automotive operates in a highly specialized, niche product sector, by only offering OEM automotive spare parts to more than 50 countries worldwide. This is evident from the unique, and sometimes hard to find, product groups spanning engine management, body electrical, and brake systems.
