I have a 98 A4 1.8T, and off and on sometimes when I drive I will get my ABS yellow light and a red blinking break light in my dash. It does not happen all the time. I looked up the warning in my manual and it said that my ABS doesn?t work when the light is flashing. However I tested the breaks and the anti-lock breaking system does engage. Is this a computer problem, or a bad sensor? Ideas?
Could be something like a wheel sensor - could be that ABS module is on the fritz. Lots of problems with VAG ABS modules in 98/99/00 Passats, A4s & A6s. Very expensive to replace - well over $1000. You can use the car without it as long as you can put up with the ABS light - and the fact that you won't have any ABS if it dies.
I.
If you get DTC 01203, that's just another lousy Bosch 5.3 ABS control module.
