I went for Audi approved only as I did buy from eBay but I’d still be waiting as it never arrived and for a part that you need to drive the car I thought it best to pay for the genuine part that I picked up the same day. But if you can wait then obviously serious savings can be made by buying the generic or re manufactured ones.

That to me suggests your running around after 10 months has destroyed your ABS unit, as a result a potentially expensive repair is due, have you noticed any issue with your brakes. Hopefully a reset by garage will solve it as otherwise it could be expensive.

Although the error says this, it’s been reported in this thread that the actual wording in the manual is very much not to drive it but to take it straight to the workshop. Hopefully your under warranty as if the ABS unit goes you should be covered but be prepared for the car to say STOP abs recovery will be needed, I’d be tempted to speak to AUDI assist again and point out that driving home is not an option with this particular fault which to be fair they should be aware of. I really would not be thinking about driving it as that amount of mileage is just asking for you to damage beyond repair the ABS.

Had the same issues on my A5 and thank goodness for this forum and Google, otherwise as others have had the misfortune of a new ABS unit, I did order mine from EBay but when it didn’t turn up got it from local Audi dealer apparently like others it had been on back order so I was lucky it was in stock, fitted in 10 mins and as others all is good, savings made and no costly ABS repair, still wrong on Audi’s part but doubt anything will change, keep up the great work the posters who gave the great step by step guides that even a non mechanical person could follow 👍
