I'm getting these come up all of a suddenin the below pic.

One by one the Parking brake and sensors disables, abs sensor moans etc.

Problem seems to go once I stop and start again.



Read this.might be the abs sensor going ?

I’d put money on that being an ABS/wheel speed sensor. Usually about a £30 quid part and 30 mins labour.

Bought a more advanced scanner than the cheapy entry level OBD and this would appear to be the the culprit.

I think when it states a mechanical malfunction it means its lost the signal as the trigger ring may be corroded up/broken rather than a defective sensor.
Worth doing a visual first.

Agreed with above, I recently had a similar code on my Scirocco, was the hub that needed replacement, sensor was fine.

Could visually see damage on the tone ring.

Sometimes on vag the tone ring is in the wheel bearing, and you need to replace that.
