3 Amigos.
Now got them on permanently and was wondering without risking personal injury if the ABS and TC actually is still working?
If i stop and restart the engine over 5mph they go out. 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

It'll not be working as the three amigos are indicative of a fault. By recycling it over the 8kph speed it is not going through it's self test start cycle and you are fooling it into 'thinking' all is well. You'll have to get it sorted come MOT time anyway. Have you checked the wiring for chafing from the modulator connector? That was my issue that started intermittently and got progressively worse despite three trips to the dealer who found nothing.

From nearly three years ago.....

Saga continues.....Drive for a while and repeat of symptoms above. Decided to get wiring diagrams out and 'bell out' the cables from under the driver's seat at the modulator. Short circuit offside sensor. Removed rear sensors and loom and as it was smothered in waxoyl had to give it a clean, nothing wrong with that end and all sensors had correct resistance values of about 1000 ohms. Damage was on vehicle side of loom chafed cable approximately a foot from the connector end.
 If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!
