| Description of the problem | Abs warning light started coming on. Then a warning light that the right, rear turn signal had failed. One week later the entire dashboard is covered in warning lights, including a "faulty engine workshop" warning light. It appears that abs control module has failed, leaving me with no abs braking on a well maintained, 50k mile car. This seems to be rampant problem with the tsi mkv gti at this mileage. Vw of america offered me no assistance. Vw should recall this part before they see any accidents lead to serious injuries. |
