VW Golf Mk3 ABS warning light - if this illuminates in your Golf Mk3 it indicates there is a problem within the ABS (anti-lock braking system) and most likely to need a replacement ABS sensor however this in not always the case. The best advice we can offer is to use the iCarsoft i908 VW OBD Code Reader which will diagnose the Golf ABS system and let you know exactly where the fault is occuring. Once the problem has been fixed the ABS light can be removed from the dashboard and the vehicle will start to brake again using the ABS system, the way it was designed to.
