| Abs / brake light warning on dashboard. it happens occasionally, but it getting more common. it is not a constant warning. it does not happen on every drive of the vehicle. have read that it is common on this era of vehicles. *tr | |||

| I have a '00 vw passat, and belong to passatworld.com i bought this car brand new in 2000, and now the car just has 90k on the odometer. my abs control module just went bad, as many many vw and audi owners have experienced. i think this is way too soon for this to happen, have kept the car in excellent shape, have followed all recommended maintenance schedules, etc. for such a potentially life-saving piece of equipment (abs and traction control, which the module controls,) you'd think vw would use a longer lasting part that is not prone to early failure. *tr | |||
