My ABS, Traction Control and Tire pressure lights all keep coming on the dash, I cant work out what I'm doing to make them turn on they just all light up at once. When I turn the engine off and on the TCS and TPS go off and then when I brake the ABS goes off and then they come back after a while. Anyone know whats causing this? is it the ABS sensor that's knackered?

I had a similar thing and it turned out to be an ABS sensor but others have had problems with the ABS pump. Get it scanned and checked out.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Mines doing the same buddy, good chance it's an abs sensor not working but will need to be scanned to see which one

Just repaired mine and with the same issue. It will most likely be your ABS sensor ring which is built into the wheel bearing, these corrode over time giving a bad signal or no signal at all.

Mine had the same, I replaced both abs sensors and it didnt fix the issue. Asked on here and got told to try replacing the wheel bearing and that sorted it instantly !

Thanks for your help, I'll get it plugged into vag com and see what it says. What have people payed to get this done? how much are the sensors and how much are the sensor rings?

I had a throttle body fail which threw up many of these indicators. Can't begin to explain what some of these have to do with the TB though. It was like the ECU had a fit and just switched some lamps on.

Gone but not forgotten :-)
