RE: brake light

And how did you test it?

Have you vagged the car?

Could be a dirty abs sensor or a bad abs module.

Well you are going to have to see what the code is to fix the problem. Just because it is working doesn't mean everything is ok.

RE: brake light

I hate to ask the obvious, but have you checked your brake fluid level?

Only VAG-Com will tell you what is going on.
I broke left ABS sensor. And my car was stopping fine as well.

RE: brake light

my axle popped off because of a bad cv joint, and it damaged my abs sensor. are these sensors easy to replace? has anyone had to do this?
