Brake Electric Antilock Problems of Volkswagen Beetle

I own a 2000 vw new Beetle. The vehicle currently has 38,000 miles on the odometer. Within the last month, 2 instrument lights come after the car has started and reaches a speed of 15 mph. The 2 lights that come on have to do with the abs braking system malfunctioning. I took the car to my local vw repair shop, they hooked up a tester to the vehicles computer, the computer fault said that the abs hydraulic pump was out of tolerance. When I took the car to the local vw dealer and explained to them the fault, they told me that it would be approx. $1000. 00 to remove and replace the pump. $300. 00 labor, $700. 00 for the part. While talking to the mechanic at the dealer, he told me that he has seen this problem quite often, not only the Beetle, but on other vw models. I do not know how many other complaints you might have had for this problem, but I think that vw of America should be made aware of it. At this time, I have not had the repair done. I am hoping that you may be able to get vw to look into this issue and resolve it.
