zipman 0 Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Hi,My ABS light has been on since owning the car (a whole 3 weeks now), and taking it in for a service today, I've been told the problem is a faulty ABS hydraulic control module, which has a heartbreaking £1000 including fitting attached to it.Having read other posts on this subject, I'm assuming a constant ABS light could be down to something less significant. Anyone got any simple checks the garage (not vw specialists)can do, before plumping for the expensive option?The car is a late 94 golf, and any advice is hugely appreciated.thanks.

antera309 3 Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 A VAG-COM diagnostic will tell you why your ABS Light keeps coming on. I've got a VAG-COM and can do a full diagnostic for a tenner. Whereabouts are you located? Will you be coming to the Rolling Road day? Link to post Share on other sites
ANThighline 0 Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 i wouldnt dream of spending anything like that amount on my car b4 having it diagnostic'd! My light was on and it was a 70quid sensor! Link to post Share on other sites
zipman 0 Posted October 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Thanks both for your help,It's been on the VAGCOM diagnostic today and comes up with fault codes of 01013 intake valve front right faulty and 01014 exhaust valve rear left faulty - which I'm being told means confirms the hydraulic unit is f***ed.I've sourced one through a breakers today, so it's mainly labour costs.Welcome to the wonderful world of VR6's eh? Lets hope it gets better from here!thanks again guys..... Link to post Share on other sites
