Pretty common mis-diagnosis apparently. Another great job by A4Audi

Car is much quieter now, and no longer sounds like a cheap 80's rave when it starts up
Thanks PsYcHe, if you're still tuned in these days.

I had exactly the same issue; same wheel. ABS / ESP/ Parking Brake alarms and VCDS showed me that Right Rear ABS data was 'missing' from the ABS ECU. I put up with for them for two weeks until my trusted service guys could fit me in and suggested that they check the wheel bearing.

Bearing replaced; all DTCs and alarms cleared and gone ...

This is such a great forum ...
