yeti 0 Posted April 16, 2007 Do you know anyone who has VAG COM cos its dead easy to just plug it in and check, most likely the same problem as i have, the wheel speed sensors need replacing. Good luck though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StuartFZR400 0 Posted April 16, 2007 Andy, as you've guessed from the comments, there can be a few different problems, from somthing as simple as dirty sensors, to defective sensors. The only way to know for sure is to plug into VAG-COM (unless you know the blink codes for it - but thats all a bit fiddly). Best to borrow VAG-com off someone local, its a 5 minute job, whereas VW will want about £80 off you for the privelidge of plugging into thier computer. Once you know the problem, you can price it up. ABS sensors are not cheap - off VAG or GSF. You'll need them fixed for the MOT. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andygal 0 Posted April 17, 2007 thanks for the replys guys. From what iv heard, it looks like its either the sensors or possibly the fact that the matrix went recently so may have caused water damage?? I have vagcom for my MK4 GTi and have the adapter for non OBD2 cars so will stick it on and see. Cheers, Andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
