Could also be a wheel speed sensor gummed up. Somewhat common in the winter.

Yes, that seems to be fairly common among many cars.

Default Had the same problem in August on my 03 A6

Dealer said it was an electrical malfunction on brake switch. Took about 1.5 hours to fix. While ABS and ESP lights are on, your ABS will not work. Mine came off and on about 3 times during normal driving and later stayed on. Call your dealer. Mine got me in right away because of safety issue.

Default I had the same problem on my 01 2.7T... turns out it was a failed brake booster / abs hydraulic pump

replaced under warranty (and the invoice sheet said $1400)

Had the same problem in the snow a few days back. Must have been a slushed sensor.
