I see from your correspondent AF that he had a similar problem to me with his ABS. In my case my VW Golf 1.4 had a service immediately (just days) before the 3-year warranty was up as a precaution prior to its MOT. No problems were reported, indeed the service only amounted to a precautionary replacement of brake fluid on the advise of the dealer. 16 days out of warranty the ABS failed and I was given an estimate of £1,500 to £1,900 to rectify. Given that I have owned the car from new, the car had barely covered 17,000 miles and cost only £11,000 I was not predisposed to pay such an exorbitant sum. After exerting considerable pressure on VW I finished up paying £181.62 - the local dealer was helpful but Milton Keynes defensive in the extreme and I too have seen (via the internet) many cases of disgruntled VW owners with the same problem. I was told that as a loyal customer (I have had every Mk of Golf, not that this should make any difference) and because I had fully complied with the service schedule they would, as a gesture of good faith, help. I might add that their initial offer was nowhere near what I ended up paying and I advise persistence. This clearly looks like a design fault that VW should address without the need of a campaign via VOSA.
