Afternoo'
I just wanted to share my experience with my ABS.
On the way home up the M5 motorway where I was not crusing at 100mph for 3 hours to Glawstershire, I had the ESR and ABS light flicker and then subsequently stay on.
I left it over night and in the morning it was ok for about an hour, but it then came on again.
After 2 visits to two different garages...and Audi, it was very clear the ABS modulator was "cattle trucked" rhyming slang for its fxcked!
Anyway, if you experience the same, I would suggest that you dont drive the car. Then, log onto www.ecu-testing.com (http://www.ecu-testing.com) purchase by exchange, a Bosh Reconditioned Modulator. It will come with 2 years warrenty and costs around the £225 mark.
Audi wanted £499 for the same part, but only offer a 6 mth warrenty.
In all, the costs saving by using an independant has been around £300 - that will help me in my 200,000 mile service next month.
If anyone is looking for a good independant in south Glaaawstershire, I would recommend John Watson of Maylane, Dursley.
I hope this helps someone else save a few quid...and of course be safe on the road.
Kindest Regards
