Are you low on brake fluid? Or, airbag connection might be going bad

Default The VAG should tell you if it is just a wheel sensor (pray that it is - cheap/easy fix).
Otherwise, it may be the ABS pump.....not a cheap or easy job.

Default Do the A4s use the same controller/pump setup as the A6s?
If so, the controller itself can be replaced fairly easily without replacing the pump. At least thats what I found out while researching this same issue for a friend's A6.
