I am getting an ABS warning light appear when I turn the steering wheel to the left, it seems to come on at a certain point of turning, whether your moving or not!

Anyone got any advice on this?

if I stop the car and restart the light will stay off until I have to turn the wheel to that point again again.

Thanks

Richard

Steering angle sensor if fitted?

Dodgy connection on one of the ABS wheel sensors?

There should be 2 connectors on the front wheels, one for the brake pad sensor, the other for the ABS sensor. My money would be on a faulty part, the connector, or break in the wire.

This is a fairly common fault - sometimes worse when the weather is cold. My Passat did this on right hand turns but I fixed it by topping up the brake fluid which was not quite full.
