Thanks for all the advice. Mine is 1.4 petrol.
I called Audi roadside assistance and very nice young man arrived with a lap top. Yes, I do need new sensor + tracking done so he booked me to Audi Dealer for repairs under warranty (3 week wait). I`m very impressed with the service and politeness.
Went for a ride today and what happened? Abs and Esp lights gone off!!
Mystery deepens. I keep you posted.

Last Thursday driving in torrential rain the ABS alarm came on. Checked cable as Fiona had reommended and sure a enough the cable had rubbed on the wheel, causing the alarm to come on. Now here is the the frustation part. Rang local Audi dealer, they had never heard of this before. They said as it was a warning light I would have to ring Audi Assistance. Rang them, came and looked at it this weekend, a nice guy but he knew nothing about the cable. After showing him the fault and tell him about other people it had happen too. He agreed. Checked the computer and sure enough it was the problem.
Told me to book it in with my local dealer for a new speed sensor.Fiona who is your local dealer as I live in Hindhead. (Guildford and Portsmouth being mine) If you come from Farnham surely they must know. Thanks Karen.

KAOD, I go to Whites in Camberley. They decided to replace both sides and shorten the cable on both sides to save another trip when the other side went (quite forward thinking I thought!). They did get in the wrong part so I had to make a return trip but other than that it was hassle free. In cas you want to know I took it in on 13th January last year. They were supposed to send a quality control report to Audi. If you need anything else, let me know. The best guy to deal with is John Carrol, he is really good. If you get Keith, go back another day!!!!!!!

Islandgreen, my lights and beeping went on and off too. Frightened the life out of me every time it went off!! I suppose that the wires are worn but not all the way thru, so sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

What on earth are the VCA up to? Euro 3 is dirtier than Euro 4 and yet they charge less road tax?

The 1.2 TDI puts out 81 to 86 gms/km CO2 depending on spec - so just £75 per year - not bad eh! oh and petrol emits stacks of ultra fine particles so just as bad as diesel really - just because they aren't visible doesn't mean they are harmless. Euro 4 plus particulate filter on a diesel is far cleaner than a petrol engine - how old was that minesweeper? i bet it didn't use commmon rail or PD fuel injection!

Also diesel fuel itself has changed hugely in the past 5 year.

Not common rail but the Deltic had packaging to rival the A2 - 18 cylinder, 36 pistons, THREE crankshafts and over 2000 hp in an engine smaller than a whole A2.
