Yesterday my b6 brought up the esp & abs warning lights intermittently. So couldn't get a code.
Today the lights seem to be on all the time now so scanned it and got code 00287 which seems to relate to rear right abs sensor.

I take it that it the driver's side rear then?
When I was investigating a very odd esp/abs fault last year I found the rear passenger side and sensor had a totally different voltage reading when spinning the wheel so I was thinking it would have been that one.
My main question however is, i take it it's safe enough to drive and just that I don't have traction control or abs while those lights are lit, is that correct?
Anyone know the book time to change the sensor, just so I know I'm not being robbed when I book it in?!
