All roads seem to point to an ABS malfunction.
3 Faults Found:
00287 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor; Rear Right (G44)
012 - Electrical Fault in Circuit - MIL ON
All the other alerts appear to be activated based on the fact that there is an ABS fault.
If it is just the sensor it should be an easy warranty fix.

do you need a vag-com cable or is there an easy way to get the log file when errors happen?

RCM09, good luck with the car.

Waffles, VCDS is vag-com. You can get the cable from http://www.ross-tech.com/. Some feel that the cable is a little pricey, but besides being able to make a lot of settings changes you can scan your car when your dash lights up in bad ways. This kind of info can help you determine if you need a tow or can drive the car to get serviced. Hope this helps!

Just got my car back from the dealership yesterday. I had lost the battle with mice getting into my car(I don't drive it enough).

They did 2400 dollars of damage to my car. They chewed up some wires and the dealership had to take the rear seats and carpet out to check for damage. So much for living out in the sticks and not having a garage.

I had tried dryer sheets, peppermint oil and set traps around the car,I killed 3 that week in my traps! Well I guess I'm going to have to let my wife take it to work so it doesn't sit all week.

In the past, I have had issues with mice building nests inside the engine compartment and squirrels chewing the wires off as well. Note to the OP. Perhaps your home owners insurance could cover the damage. Worse they could say is no. Probably have a chance if you have the same insurer for car and home.

A mouse started building a nest on top of my engine...twice. They tore into a family member's Toyota's air and cabin filter around the same time. The Toyota dealer recommended moth ***** but would not say where or how to place them. My best idea so far is a bird suet feeder type of cage, but finer mesh. Fill it with moth ***** and attach it somewhere in the engine bay. I haven't tried this yet. You wouldn't want moth ***** too close to the cabin filter unless you really like the smell of moth *****. Might be worth trying. I've had success winterizing the lawn tractor and motorcycle with hole-poked ziplock bags of moth ***** as well as ziplock bags of steel wool in the intakes, exhaust pipes, etc.

With mothballs...they told me to put them around the tires. That's how they get up into the car.

My insurance did pay for it under comprehensive, I just had to pay the deductible and no affect on my future premium.
