Hello,
I have recently bought an audi A3 8P, the ABS light came on shortly after my warranty ran out. I scanned the codes and they came up with 016352 and 01130 on VCDS.
After doing dome research I checked my fuses and performed a load test on the harness at the ABS unit connector. I did this by using a multimeter measuring voltage at the two power terminals, as I measured I had somebody else shake the harness as I have heard this is an issue. I did not test any of the many other wires going to the unit.
After deciding the issue was the module itself I spent £260 getting it sent to ECU testing who said they found a fault with the module. I reinstalled it and the car was fine for around 400 miles before the warning came back again. I do believe whatever they did was required as the car ow goes a lot further before the light comes on. As soon as I turn the ignition off it goes away again.
One thing I have noticed is in the engine fuse box, fuse F4 is a 20 amp fuse on my car and is supposed to be a 30 amp fuse according to the manual. However the fuse hasn't blown so I dont see how this can be an issue.
Here is my VCDS script,

Under Instruments I have another fault fault code. I am unsure if this code is in some way linked to my ABS issue,
00003 - Control Module
014 - Defective

Any help would be massively appreciated.
