Traction Control & ABS lights come on without apparent reason
Anybody heard about this before? It started happening three days ago, and at first I thought it was a minor glitch and now it happens amost every time I drive the car.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Andres G

for every mile over 20 you are from a dealer, that counts as 1x times why you need a VAG
so you are at 100X
these cars are very complictaed with lots of interlocking systmes.
buy a vag, even if you have to buy an old cheap laptop to run it on, it will pay for itslef in the first 3 months.
there is absolutly no way to tell what is wrong with your car from the information you have given us. take it to the dealer, on a flatbed

Had the same thing happen to me the other night.
Never had it happen before. Along with that the headlight adjustment light came on. I pulled over and turned the engine off and restarted and they went away. I'm waiting to see if it repeats. The manual actually says those two lights will come on sometime and to restart. Makes me a little nervous though with only 3000 left on warranty.

There's a little control module responsible for this perhaps - it looks just like the steering relay
but the number on mine was 527 or something like that. It fell out of place, needed to be put back in.
