Problem with one of the abs sensors or worst case, your abs unit is faulty.

You really need to get a vcds or dealer scan to identify the problem.

this has recently happened to me.

started off everynow and again then started happpenin everytime i went over 60.

turned out to be the wheel speed sensor and wheel bearing. had it sorted at a local independant specialist for £340 :(

only thing that sucks is its started happening again so could be another wheel going :(
