dinkus 10 Posted March 9, 2008 I'd wager the ABS fault is a bent cage on the wheel, but the only way to tell which one is to get the car plugged into VAG-COM which will tell you. Sunroof is a super-common and unpleasant and expensive thing to fix... have a search for sunroof and you'll find far too many results :( Temp gauge for water? It's probably just the sensor in the coolant system, which is fairly easy and cheap to replace...or of course a disconnected wire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattosmond 0 Posted March 9, 2008 the abs light could be due to the abs sensors being knocked by accident when doing the suspension... or knackered sensor due to old age! they are pretty common to go on all vw's of this era i am lead to beleive from other people and from my personal experience. Ps welcome ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
