Post by: GOLF_STU on 05 April 2010, 22:58
going along today i started to accelerate the car lurched violently then then carried on as normal but now got the asr light on the dash now. i think its something to do with a wheel sensor but has anyone had this before?

I had a weird lurch whilst on the motorway earlier as well, an 'Emissions Workshop' warning popped up on the dash then disappeared. Doesn't sound like it's related to yours, gonna plug into VAG-COM tomorrow to see.
