My passat has an abs sensor issue which pulses through the pedal at low speeds but no abs ligh shows and it also has no fault codes! (check the abs thread in the maintenence section as that also shows how to test resistance)
also a seized caliper can make the abs act up (I had a seizing caliper on my gti and this made the abs light come on now and then but it didnt pulse)

Hmmm...well im gonna have a look at them at the weekend so fingers crossed it's just a case of new pads and maybe discs. As you say with your Passat, ive also got no illuminated ABS light or fault codes showing.

Would I not feel chatter thru the steering wheel if it was a warped disk tho? Also if it was an ABS sensor would the abs light flash on

If you've got any serious level of disc warpage then yes, you would definitely feel it it through the wheel.
