Does the ABS light do the self check with ignition on? light should come on then go off,handbrake light is linked to abs system ,you could have a faulty brake fluid cap if your lucky,ive had the same problem and have narrowed it down to the abs ecu being at fault,its been off for repair ,just waiting for it to come back now,will let you know what happens.

Checked today and it seems the bulb for the ABS is blown so my guess is that it's been on in the past!

If needed i have 2 abs ECUs if the hand brake light is a abs fault i did this cut the wires on the back of plug and left them abs still works fine...

iv'e got a mk3 Anniversary model, abs light and air bag light on , replaced sensor for abs and that is sorted, any other idea's how to resolve problem with Air Bag light staying on?  . Any help much appreciated

[itavaltalainen]

how about reading fault codes? did you replace the sensors without reading them?

Use Vagcom or similar to turn off airbag light

If I was to replace the steering wheel and airbag off say a lupo (as it's a straight swap so I've read), would the light still need to be reset?

I swapped mine to a Polo / Lupo type wheel last week and I had no issues with needing to reset the airbag ecu. That's not to say you wont though if fault codes have been raised for some reason.

Did you have the light on before the swap though bud?

Any chance of a cheeky pic?

No lights on to start with. Sorry no pics mate.
