    Get it from Ross-tech. Google for the website.
    $250 - $400 depending on what lead you need.
    You need a laptop or pc to run it.
    It's a full diagnostics software.

    What car is this on?
    It could be a handful of things. Busted ABS controller, dirt in the abs rings, faulty wiring to a sensor.

    Hi, If you own a Mk 5 then this is a well known fault and the remedy is a repair kit from VW. Cost is several hundreds of pounds as I remember. However the good news is that it is a well known failure and with a decent dealer behind you then VW will foot the bill for the repair kit and its fitting.

    Good luck.

    I've got a MkIV 4motion golf & reason why I asked on here is I already had account & reading info someone elses thread or a company who has put on line some info sometimes don't answer all the questions you need answering plus on most Club forums there are people on there who may have had the same problem or who has bought the product & would advice buying it or not, cheers for replies
