1st - Could be Dog Bone Bushes.. there hard to see if ya not looking for em..


2nd - Chances are its a ESP sensor on one of the wheels.. need a VagCom scan to determine which..

Grab it and see if theres any play in it... Mines solid now with Powerflex Bushes in.. was a slight amount of movement with standard bushes in tho..

Traction control light is probably MAF as you have suggested

If it is the bush in the dog bone the R32 dogbone mount is a good upgrade or you could get it poly bushed a bit harsher tho
