Oil and brake light flashing

Had the same problem. It was the control module for the ABS. Dealer will try to charge about 2,000 to fix, but there are several company's that will rebuild it for about 250. You can also take it out and still drive the car while it is being rebuilt. Google ABS module rebuild for a place to send it. Did it a while ago and not a peep out of her.

Hi, Only sensible way forward is to get the fault codes (DTC's) read either at the garage or by using VAG diagnostic software on your own laptop. There are 101 things you could replace which don't need it, so the most cost-efficient way is to get the fault codes and then post them here.

Hope this helps, D.

ABS Module, period. There is lots on info on the net on this issue. Very, very common on the Bosh units (all in model years 98-01)

Is the ABS light on as well? If you have ABS and the light is on (like in Guest's comment) is it probably the ABS Control Module. You should have someone read the code to see if you get ABS as one of the issues. Rather than spending a fortune with the dealer or having a non dealer replacement, check out ModuleMasters.com. You take the the unit off (easy and OK to drive without it, you'll just have no
ABS - which you probably don't have now!), mail it out to them, they rebuild it for $200, send it back and you install it, problem solved. They have step by step photo instructions on their site. A mechanic I use for diagnosis and difficult repairs initially wanted to replace the instrument cluster and then talked about replacing it with a new unit. I went online, read about the issue and fixed it myself. I let him know about it and now he has done it three times the same way with great results.
