    You will need to check your regular Brake system and then the codes in your ABS system and then go from there. It could be a wheel sensor, the ABS Module or other things. Look for a good German shop to check the ABS System. Best of Luck!

    more than likely the abs module, its a very very common problem www.passatworld.com has a thread on it lots and lots of people including me have had this.
    take it off and send it off to be fixed $100-$200 its a design flaw, buy a new one and you will have this problem again, so get it fixed and put some painters tape over the flashing lights, thats what ive done.
