Well final update on this issue. Apparently Skoda JMD was asked to repair it at their own cost. While they seem to have fixed the issue, they are refusing to give me a bill/invoice that states that the item is replaced or fixed. This is ridiculous.

Restarting the thread:

Last week,the ESP,ABS,PS and hand brake lights started flashing randomly along with beeps and a jumping speedo needle while driving within city limits on my 08 Jetta DSG. Things returned to normalcy after i parked on the roadside and restarted.This went on for another day and became a constant whenever i started the car.On the way to VW service,the car started to stall intermittently,like the brakes were getting jammed or loss of power to the wheels on and off.Diagnosis are still on and are checking on wiring's as well at the service center. They believe it could be the ABS control module for all they know and the part costs something like $1300 or so.Going forward,what are my options apart from replacing the entire unit as its way to expensive to spend on a 72K miles done six year old used car.I still haven't asked for the exact fault codes which i should be getting by EOD today.Are used or refurbished modules a good option?I also doubt that it could just be some malfunctioning or dirty sensors.Do these modules wear out so soon?

Could the above scenario also result in the clutch damage by any chance?I could really do well with some help here.Thanks

First get to know the exact error codes or diagnosis as shown by the VAG scan tool. Then you can get a picture of what as per the car is the issue. Later, you can decide what do do with it.

I presume your car has had ZERO electrical tampering. If you have got some accessories installed both aftermarket and the dealer, check their wiring first. ESP units dont fail that easily. Hence rule out all other possibilities and then arrive at the ESP unit. Wiring issues can trigger multiple lights at the same time since if the car's CAN network is tampered with, it will affect the data that is transmitted between various modules.

I am certain that the cars electrical's have not been tampered with and its bone stock with no aftermarket electrical accessories.Waiting for the error codes from VW service.I am also thinking exactly the way you do,but the ASC guys have been hinting me on the module ass a whole in the past three days of diagnosis.They haven't confirmed though.

Hi
I live in Mumbai and have a Skoda 2011 1.8 AT Petrol.
I had ABS sensor failures 6 times and I got the faulty ones replaced.
3 weeks ago I had another ABS EPS failure light on the dash and I sent the car back to JMD Skoda Kandivali Mumbai for sensor replacement.
This time they mentioned that the ABS control unit (Electronic Unit) has konked off and replacement will cost 1.35Lakhs.
After multiple emails and them trying for fixing this in warranty, they eventually refused and I got the car back today in same condition.
I met with the workshop head and told him that I have 2 skodas and this one has only done 25000KMS and dont expect the ABS control unit to fail at such low mileage. He promised to escalate this for a 2nd level approval for goodwill warranty and will let me know next week.
I also did my own OBD scan and pasting results below. My options are:
1) Wait for Skoda JMD to get the replacement approval
2) Get the unit/wiring checked if there is wiring fault by another known garage. I checked the fuses myself and seems ok.
3) Buy a used ABS control unit from ebay and ask JMD skoda service center to place that. If they refuse then will goto my local guy (Dhaval Autolandmark Goregaon). I am getting one for 200 Euro with shipping. Sourcing a used unit in Mumbai would cost around 50-60K

Hey, so what did you finally do to fix the problem?

How was the issue resolved? I'm facing the same issue in my Skoda Superb. First I had ABS Pump failure (waiting to source the part from outside). Now I'm facing intermitant stalling for a fraction of a second and the engine recovers to normal again. No error code is received from scanning tool. I have a video of the issue but no idea how to upload it here in the forum.

Engine stalling is something really serious. Do have it checked immediately. The ABS sensor failure in my Creta itself caused temporary brake failure. So have yours checked immediately.

Upload the video to Youtube and share the link here.

I'm waiting to get detailed scan report. I will get it done this week and report the issues along with the part numbers needed.

Fix the ABS issues and the engine will start working normally. The faulty ABS unit feeds in wrong information about the wheel speed to the engine speed sensor, hence there is stalling of the engine. For the time being, you can switch off the car and restart it to solve the issue. But it will usually pop up again after a few hours.

Makes sense. I have stopped using the car for time being. As you said after the engine is switched OFF and ON again the issue does not arise for a few hours. In city traffic it happens a lot.

The ABS pump is faulty and a replacement is ordered. Waiting for part delivery. Hoping all the issues will be sorted after pump replacement. I will update after fitting the new pump

[nitrogary]

I got this problem on my 2011 Superb, 1.8 TSI MT last week. The ABS module needs replacement. Does anyone have leads on where to source this from? Part number is 1K0 907 379 AT.
I will appreciate any help / experience that anyone has on the forum.

Thanks!
