[s-cars] Re; S-Car Brake system conversion

This little annoying problem is just that, Dennis.  A small annoyance,  
not a big problem.  It is an ABS wheel sensor problem-probably just  
one, and
most likely at the wheel hub.  A VAG-COM check may reveal which wheel- 
maybe.  If so, good, if not check each sensor for proper position in  
the holder.
It could be a bad sensor or a wiring problem, but not an  
insurmountable problem.  At least, you know where to start even if you  
don't know the ending for
sure.

Given your URQ experience. I think I will just try to make the  
hydraulic system the best it can be.
