Angry audi a6 1.8T problems

Hi guys im new on here, how are you all? I have a 99 A6 avant 1.8T which ive had for 2 years now and the last 6 months it becoming a pain. For a start my ABS light on the dash is flashing (centre of dash), I wouldnt mind but i just want my imformation trip computer back on again. Is there a way to bypass this? And the other thing is my water temp gauge. only reads about 70 degrees not the normal 90degrees. Somtimes it will drop to nothing but only if your at hight speed, slow down and it goes upto around 70 degrees. But if I turtn the engine off and leave it for a minute, start it back up and the gauge reads 90 degrees and starts to drop. It never goes over 90 degrees though. I have put a new engine coolant temp sensor in and it was worse. The temp gauge bearly moved so I put the old one back in. These two little problem are now making me hate the car, and I just want her back to normal. If you have any ideas they would really be much appreciated, thanks pals, Regards James.
