My thoughts exactly, I spent about 2002all in from a VW specialist after haggling. I diagnosed myself so saved some money.
Had my car scanned today, came back with 00287 g44 rear wheel right hub mechanical malfunction, no plausible signal. Is this what everyone thought it was going to be? So happy it's not the abs unit. I mentioned that I had borrowed a set of 19's to use while I had my wheels refurbed which are larger and wider than my 18's, the lights had never came on until I put these wheels on, he said he has reset the codes and for me to see if the lights come back on, he said it's highly unlikely that the wheels would have caused it but just to see anyway, if the lights come back on then it's going in for a new hub, he also mentioned that it could be the wheel bearing on its way out which is why the fault code says mechanical malfunction. Anyone experienced this....

2 things:
1. the hub assembly includes the wheel bearing
2. its not caused by stones. Water gets in behind the abs ring and when it corrodes it changes shape and brakes up.
