Sideways Steve 10 Posted August 8, 2011 The wee black plastic lip that runs along the bottom of the front bumper is the splitter, theres a metal part that runs along the front of teh car behind that and I wondered if thats where this rust is ? Ahh yes in the picture it looks like its teh metal thats attached to the bumper rather than teh car if that makes sense ? if thats the case its not as big an issue as I thought and probably wouldnt be an MOT issue.

She previously tried patches, pills, gum, all failed. The first three weeks were hell, rowing, bickering etc She was a 10 a day smoker so the course has already paid for itself.

Stella 0 Posted August 12, 2011 Hey The car does have an oil leek so need to replace the oil filter housing, I have spent the day looking on websites n calling people and have managed to find one for £50 + postage which is alot better that the 90+VAT I was quoted. The part numbers match but the part is advertised as an oil filter bracket, is this the same part? Since leaving the car with the mechanic, the ABS light has come on also??

Portent 0 Posted August 12, 2011 The ABS is most likey to be one of the front wheel sensors which will either need cleaning up or replacing. If the mechanic has VAGCOM then they can check for any error codes. The sensors are quite cheap so not a big deal if it's one of those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4eyes2wheels 0 Posted August 16, 2011 I think I've replaced three of the four sensors in the last year. Yes they are cheap but can be a bu99er to remove the failed ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave_c 10 Posted August 17, 2011 Best colour I reckon, looks real tidy. ABS sensors can be a pain to remove if they are corroded in, just need to be careful with the stator ring as they're usually pretty fragile! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
