ABS/ESP fault lights

[craig_the_german]

Hi all, 90TSI manual. Driving around Brisbane in the rain today. Just driving along and the ABS/ESP fault lights come on.
No big puddles, pot holes etc, on the motorway when they come on.
What are the chances that water has got into a connector somewhere? If it dries out, will the fault lights go off.
Any obvious places I should start looking before finding someone to scan it?

Possibly a faulty/damaged wheel speed sensor (also known as an ABS sensor) - very common on the Mk5 and Mk6 and causes the errors you have got.

Assuming this is the issue, its a cheap fix and easy to replace.

You will need to use a scan tool to find out which wheel has the issue, because they have different part number (and shape) wheel speed sensors depending on front axle/rear axle and left side/right side.

Thanks Lucas, I'll get it scanned.
