Default Argh - ABS / ESP and flashing hand brake light...any clue?

I had recently replaced power steering rack and clockspring after having problems with getting 0 point calibration on steering through VAG-COM.

Any codes on the ABS module? That's where you recalibrate the Steering Angle Sensor...

Default I just sent my ABS module from my C5 A6 avant to modulemaster.com.

Car had flashing lights of some kind (wife couldn't describe it too well), and when I VAG'd I couldn't communicate with the ABS module. Hopefully the module was the problem and I'll know in a few days when I get it back.

Default gonna vag it tonight - its been a frustrating adventure

1) Power Steering Rack - started ABS and ESP light
2) Clockspring - unable to get the calibration took it to a mechanic and it looks like they broke it better then I did
3) Today ABS module...

Default most likely a bad module...

i went through this company without a single issue. good luck.

EDIT: this was for my A4, not S4. YMMV.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autoecu.com/">http://www.autoecu.com/</a</li></ul>
