A couple of things before delving into the VCDS scan.

Since you're a new member, pop along to the Introductions section and introduce yourself to everyone. We're a friendly lot, and we don't have many rules, but we do like to see other members cars, so photos are welcome. Also, to make things easier down the line when looking for assistance, amend your profile setup to include car details and a rough location. The car details may make it easier to help diagnose issues, and the location is just so if you need help, someone may just be round the corner, or maybe just to meet up for a chat.

Now, the scan. You make the comment about the ABS errors occurring in several modules, and it is remarkable how these cars work, and how they are all seemingly interconnected, so yes, an error may appear in what seems like an odd location/module.

The majority of the errors appear around the same date, but there some other odd anomalies around dates and other data. You have one error with a date of 2000, yet the car is an '03 model. You also have a error with a temperature reading of -85 degrees, which is somewhat chilly!

Since you have VCDS, what I'd suggest you do is always save a copy of the scan, as it may be useful later on. The next thing to do is clear all the codes (some codes may not clear is they are classed as a 'permanent' fault, and will only clear by replacing/repairing the offending item). Once you've done that, take the car for a drive, and then scan the car again, and you should hopefully have fewer errors second time around. Error codes can occur because the battery was disconnected at some time, and this could account for some of them. Post up what's left, and then we can go from there.

Regarding the ABS specific issue, and the pump continuing to run, one suggestion I came across was a faulty relay (which you hint at). I can identify the relevant relay on the D2 platform, but at the moment can't find the equivalent of the D3 platform.
