[A4] abs light/brake light

[Nicholas Stock]

Steve, first things first...is the brake fluid level OK? Do you see any
leaking anywhere around the resevoir or by the calipers? If not then it
sounds like your ABS module is on it's way out...brakes are always critical
on your car don't you think?....;-)

If I was in your shoes, then I'd get it checked asap or atleast find a local
VAG tool and check the fault code to see if it is only the ABS module..then
I'd get it fixed as fast as possible, seeing as winter is almost upon us....

Just my 2 cents...HTH,

Regards,

Nick
