Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • ABS/ESP Alert Mark 6 Golf 90 Trendline manual

    Hi, Came back to my all day parked Golf a week ago and, on starting up had the ABS/ESP alerts on my screen. I tried a crash stop on a deserted road in the rain and the ABS did not seem to have worked as lock up occurred. The messages have disappeared briefly but come back most of the time. I charged the battery yesterday on my C-Tek for several hours thinking that it may have been contributing to the fault.

    Any ideas, as I know if I see my dealer, I will have an automatic fee of $150 for a diagnostic test? Cheers-John

    Doubt the charging did anything.

    If you have a fault light on, ABS isnt going to work.

    You'll need to get a scan to see why. Doesnt have to be a dealer to scan it. Most Mechanics shops will be able to do it. Just to tell you what it is

      A faulty wheel speed sensor is the most common thing that causes that warning and no ABS.

      If you want to do the whole thing DIY, get yourself a good scan tool like the OBDeleven, or VCDS, and then you will be able to check the output of each sensor.

          Thanks for that. I'll take it to a local VW specialist. Perhaps a little cheaper. Cheers.

            Hi, Just a note to say that the fault seems to have cleared itself without any action on my part. Who knows what the issue was- it may come back- fingers crossed that it was just a hiccup in the electronics. Cheers-John
