    Hope someone can help. For the last couple weeks, I've had the ABS and brake warning lights flash momentarily on the instrument cluster - along with the beeps. I don't have VCSD, but my XTools error code says " Electrical connection between ABS and instrument cluster sporadic. No signal". I've...

    The ABS/Brake CEL has been on constantly throughout the winter... but one morning during early December the CEL did not come on as they usually had. The temperature outside hit nearly -20F w/o windshield, eventually the ABS/Brake CEL came on after the vehicle warmed up from driving. My brakes...

    After getting snazzy new drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads from ebay for 120 bucks on all 4 wheels, i figured it was time i put those on once the awful arctic snow had melted this weekend in Providence. And while i was at it--why not screw up the dead ABS unit too! Since my unit was dead...

    I purchased the '03 V6/5spd GLX Variant (110k when purchased) as it's fourth (4th) owner in July 2010. The following is a running list of brake issues; the first two (2) problems made me contemplate if it was a failed ABS module; and if I should have it rebuilt. Brake issue #1 (fixed): This...

    I took my car to a local garage (people I know well) and had them replace a CV axle that was going bad. Ended up replacing both axles and put some new tires on at the same time. I had to pick my car up afterhours and within the first block my ABS light came on. I was thinking that maybe they...

    I'm beginning to think that the 10 year mark coming up next year, might of come up earlier than I expected. Almost immedately after it's 9th anniversary, the car's been really getting kinda quirky. First was the broken timing belt tensioner. Resolved with new belt, new /improved tensioner, and...

    So I understand that this is a common problem in passats, which unfortunately isn't a recall. :crazy: Without being vag'd i'm almost confident my module needs replaced like some of the other users on the forum. But to be honest, i don't have the dough to ship it to modulemasters at this...

    Earlier I told you I bought my 99 Passat with a solid ABS light and a blinking Brake light on the dash. The dealership has looked at it 3 times now with no luck. They sent it to a VW dealership for a day and guess what... Everything checks out fine, according to them. Like I said all the brakes...
