ABS & Traction light

(1/1)

Hi,

Sorry disclaimer its not a gti, its 1.9 tdi. But this was one of the more active uk based forums I could find.

I was wondering if anyone in the north west Wrexham/Chester area has VCDS that would be willing to scan the codes please.

Typically my ABS & Traction light have just come on when my MOT is booked in for tomorrow....

Additionally I disconnected the battery and now have the power steering light illuminated as well. I have tried the reset procedure lock to lock for 10 seconds and followed by a short drive but no luck.

It's most likely the abs sensor ring on one of the axles, the rear seem to be the most common. The ring rusts and either a chunk falls off or it swells and contacts the sensor itself and damages it. If it is the rear the you'll likely need to change the complete hub with  bearing as well as the sensor. You wont be able to reset the steering light until the abs problem has been fixed.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Just borrowed another code reader and its the rear left speed sensor. Thanks for the tip I'll look to replace the hub aswell. That explains why I couldn't reset the steering light, cheers.
