So changed the disks, pads and bearing on the rear of my golf yesterday, forgot to swap over abs rings but did that this morning...

However the abs light + airbag light on the right hand side of dash is on as is the handbrake light in middle of dash!!! So what could cause this? I did drive it yesterday without abs rings on and the same lights were on, could these errors just need clearing in  vag-com or is it something more serious such as speed sensor/abs sensors??

 :sad:

handbrake light is related to the abs light being on, not sure why airbag light is on tho.....
i would say try resetting them with the vag com first before sheeling out anymore money..

Ran VCDS 00287 and 00290 relating to ABS Sensor...Cleared codes and went for drive but lights returned....swapped sensor cables over but same errors...Guess it's time for 2 new sensors!

Tried to clean sensors but they were rusted to hub so ended up smashing them out!

After doing that I noticed the fookin abs rings are loose so it could have been that...

Decided to order abs rings and new sensors and just chuck em all on...That way I know it should be ok!
