Started up my car yesterday and the ABS warning light didnt go out. Checked
the handbook and everything they said seemed to be OK. Brakes still feel the
same , there is no increase in pedal travel and the fluid level is OK. Any
ideas or have i got to go and spend loads at the main dealer??

Could be a wheel sensor not working.

Get the fault codes first! Otherwise it's only a guess.

The Dealer. Autozone (maybe). A friendly local VW guy who has a
VAG-COM system.
