The warning light for the ABS has recently come on in my 1999 T-reg A6 1.8TSE manual.
I was driving along and then there are three loud beeps (like when petrol gets low), and a big flashing exclamation mark appears on the dash screen. At the same time, the orange ABS warning light comes on. It will normally carry on doing this until I turn the engine off. The brakes work ok during this time, although obviously I've not needed the ABS since then.
Each time I turn the engine on, it's usually a few minutes before this warning light comes back on.
I imagine this is probably a faulty sensor, but how would I go about getting this fixed? The Audi dealership want £105/hr just to diagnose the problem, while it is in for a service next week! I told them to just do the oil service and I'll worry about the ABS.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
