Consumer Description

ABS MODULE FAILURE NOTHING LEAD UPTO THE BEEPING AND FLASHING OF THE ABS LIGHT (SOLID LIT) AND BRAKE LIGHT (FLASHING). OCCURED AFTER ROUTINE DRIVING, SIMPLY PULLING INTO WORK PARKING LOT AS USUAL, AFTER SHORT TRIP TO EATING. AFTER SOME SEARCHING AND BROWSING ONLINE LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE ABS MODULE HAS FAILED AS ON MANY OTHER VOLKSWAGEN/AUDI MODELS. REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN DONE. REMANUFACTURING OF MODULE IS AROUND $200 AND OEM DEALER REPLACEMENT IS SAID TO BE WELL OVER $1,000 DOLLARS. *TR
