Default i've heard it is

"An occasional problem on this vehicle is failure of the Antilock Brake (ABS) Control Module. Failure of the ABS Control Module may result in ABS warning indicator illumination. The cost to replace the ABS Control Module is estimated at $2,228.00 for parts"

taken from MSN autos (maybe not the best place) but i've heard of this problem before<ul><li><a href="http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/Reliability.aspx?year=1998&amp;make=Audi&amp;model =A4&amp;src=vip">MSN auto article</a></li></ul>

Default Sensor is about $140 or so, and you can get your ABS Control Module repaired for $250

That article if full of shiet. A brand new module from the dealer is betwee $900 and $1300. BUt you can get your faulty one repaired by Module Master for $250. Had mine repaired a couple months ago and works great.
