Where are the abs sensors ?
ABS sensors are part of your brake system. There is one in the brake pads on each wheel. If the ABS light is on, it usually means that your car has sensed a dangerous situation and has deployed the ABS system to help you stop safely. If only the ABS light is on, then one may be gunked up, or you need to have your brakes checked. If you've had any other work done around the wheels, apparently, they can be bumped quite easily. This repair is not very expensive, if you have a good local mechanic. or brake shop.
On the other hand, if the ABS AND brake lights are on, and you hear a constant beeping, there's is a good chance that your ABS control module has gone out. Unfortunately, this is an extremely common problem with Audis of this era. Many VWs use the same part, and they were recalled (but Audis weren't). There is a grey market where you can picked them up a somewhat cheaper, but the original ABS control module went for around $1700.
I hope it's a bad sensor!
