I just bought the car and so its hard to say. However, its a 2014 and the battery doesn't look like the stock one that came in the car. So I feel like its been replaced before. Otherwise, visually it looks perfect. It reads 12.48 VDC before I start it which is a tad low but I don't think that would trigger the fault. I could be wrong tho.
Right on. I have no problem doing it myself....I'm just a little disappointed because I just spent a ton of money on parts and then this happened. So If I wanna replace all of the sensors its prolly gonna cost me about $400. So that blows.
I am going to take it to get scanned with VAGCOM and start from there. From everything Ive read about this problem it points to a few different things and so I want to scanned and see what comes back before I spend a lot of money replacing parts.
I really, really appreciate everyone's input here. It has been invaluable and as soon as I get to the bottom of this Ill post my fix so others can reference this post.
Alrighty so I replaced the right front wheel speed sensor. Took it for a little drive and no issues. Ill get a longer drive in tomorrow on my way to work and we'll see if the problem comes back. Fingers crossed!
When I removed the old one, it was caked with grease and grime and so I think that may have contributed to the problem. I am going to pull off the other three and clean them in hopes this isn't a problem I have to face again for a long time.

Owned my car since 2011. Maybe had the ABS fault 2-3 times? Normally happens on hot days after I've driven the car for a bit, go into a store and come back and start it up within 5-10mins. At least that's the formula as I recall. I just read and clear the codes with vagcom, and no issues after, at least for a while. It might be tune related, but it looks like you're solving your problem by replacing sensors.
Aright!
So I think I have it all fixed! In total I drove about 90 miles today and no issues.....so I'm gonna chalk this one up to fixed. Like I said I plan to pull off the other three sensors and clean them but I'm hoping this issue doesn't come back.
A big thanks to everyone that contributed. If it wasn't for this forum and a local guy with Vagcom I wouldn't have known what to look at.

I just responded to a similar ABS / ESC / TC thread in the Golf 2.5 Section.
I received a VW Safety Recall 45F2 in March from Volkswagen Canada relating to the ABS / ESC System for 2009/2010 models, not sure it applies but you should be aware.
I posted this in the Main Section as well.

Agree........I love this forum, people here are different...very few jerks, they really DO like to help and want to offer practical suggestions instead of snarky comments.
Long live MK6! :happyanim:

I had ABS module failure on my 09 MK5 GLI before the recall came out. I ended up swapping in a used mk6 gti unit from ebay for like $100 and added two zeroes to the end of the coding and it worked perfectly! It allowed me to activate XDS as well which wasn't an option on the Mk5s. VWOA denied my claim for reimbursement after I got the recall notice and submitted my documents.
This is Ryans face
Not sure if...
So what was the issue? Bad sensor?
