SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK:ABS WARNING LIGHT
A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO MY ABS, BRAKE AND ASR LIGHTS CAME ON NOT NECESSARILY TOGETHER. THE ABS AND BRAKE WOULD BE TOGETHER WITH THE MATRIX DISPLAY SHOWING STOP SERVICE MANUAL AND LATER THE ASR LIGHT WOULD BE ON WITH THE REST GOING OFF. FUNNY, I WAS GOING DOWN A SLOPE, NO BRAKING, THE ABS/BRAKE CAME ON AND WENT OFF IMMEDIATELY! ITS VERY RANDOM, COMES ON OR OFF AT ANY TIME. CHECKING ON THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS LIKE ITS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH VW CARS. *JB
