Mk3 Golf ABS Light 1276 VAG Com *****New Code *********-

[DMackie]

Drove to work this morning and the abs light came on just before getting to work.
Turned the car off then on again and the light went off.
However on driving home from work the light came back on and when i got home and tried what i did at work the light just stayed on.

Scanned it with vag com and the only fault code was 00524 Knock Sensor 1 -G61
Any ideas folks

Read this on a website, has anyone else had this problem and fixed it doing this?

  ABS LAMP COMES ON
MODELS AFFECTED :
Petrol engines, all - except VR6
FAULT:
ABS lamp comes on, fault code 01276.
CAUSE :
When the ABS cable loom is damp and the vehicle is operating at high engine speed leakage current of the ignition coil gets into the suppressor of the pump sensor cable.
SOLUTION:
Change the routing of the pump sensor cable. Route the ABS pump sensor cable and engine speed sensor cable away from the ignition transformer to the arch by unwrapping the engine speed sensor cable and pump sensor cable to the arch. Wrapping up the pump sensor cable without engine speed sensor.
Rerouting the engine speed sensor cable on the bulkhead. Routing the pump sensor cable and fastening it with existing cable binder to suspension strut housing.
