Probably an ABS issue. These are "usually" wheel speed sensors that go bad or need cleaned. You should have a code stored in the ABS module. Get the code scanned and go from there.

Have 2.5 engine in 2013 Passat I just bought and similar light of above but manual says "may be" low fluid; finding appearance of brake fluid reservoir cap, I realized that a basic of regular maintenance was the secret to removing "shroud" w/ 2.5 in center that covers appreciably all of engine proper. The is generous w/ passenger compartment pictures but absolutely nothing on the exposed engine compartment when the hood is raised. Is there a reference in tech manuals as to what & where fill positions & general facilities to attend are located and if so how can I view same?
