It is not really what you can see in this photo, but what is not there. Since I bought the car there has been an ABS and brake light on. I used them a haggle points. In my research I thought that it was the module but then I found a switch for the handbrake had come loose. Brake light fixed. Had I been more patient and waited for my VAG-COM cable to come I might have been able to clean the front sensors and been golden.
NO, I got impatient and destroyed the right rear sensor in the process of trying to remove it. (Did you know that the Clamping Sleeve is as rare as hen's teeth? Also effen expensive.) So now I got the new sensor in and the fronts are clean and no more ABS light! I even found a dirt road to test on as the manual said to get at least one ABS incident to be sure.
I also had a CEL when not one but TWO coilpacks died. Have since replaced with all new.
