Blast from the past with this post, glad it was able to help ease the wory. Best thing to fix it, buy an alfa romeo guilietta :)

Hi, Totally forgot about this thread. Got the ABS unit repaired by the dealer and things have been fine since, no issues at all.

I used to think it was the traction control or stability control pulsing the brakes to do it's thing, this is noticeable but a violent banging like your driving over rocks I'm sure is axle tramp-probably combined with the systems trying to find traction. --- I am here...

, I was thinking they were making a bigger issue out of it than it really is. Going to get car into Wallace for alignment, think it's quite reasonably priced. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=57.164293,-2.119159

I think it's axle tramp, definition from a tyre website: "A form of wheel hop that occurs on cars with live axles, caused by the axle repeatedly rotating slightly with the wheels and then springing back." I don't think it indicates any issue-just sounds bad! --- I am here...

Hi, the standard twin-oem one. Dual or single would be nice :) For the price the dealer want for a back box i would probs be better getting a whole new after market exhaust. I plan to sell in March time anyway so i dont want to be doing too much but still keep it saleable! Im really...

It was stealers, was getting an out of warranty contribution towards an ABS unit repair, also they were cheapest for winter tyres locally by several £10's of pounds. They give you all the scare tactics on the phone, if i was a little old lady i would be selling my silver and getting it done...

Had car in today for its ABS unit repair and two winter tyres on the front to replace the nearly worn out summer tyres. Got a phone call to say all the work was done but i apparently, a bracket holding the exhaust on is badly corroded and so too is the back silencer. Surprise surprise, the...

On the battery disconnection, I have the TCS/ESP light on and with VAGCom found it was caused by a sensor in the ABS unit. This is getting repaired with a good will subsidy from seat. I initially tried disconnecting the battery. After I reconnected and started, nothing seamed to work, I had...

Have booked in for a pair of Hankook W300's for the front at my local dealer (specialist cars Aberdeen). Was getting prices between £150 and £200 at local tyre shops and quick-fit type places for cooper to bridgestone Was getting car booked into get the ABS module repaired and they would do...

Emailed dealer with the details from vag com so am booked into get it fixed for £122 parts, labour Inc vat. Happy for that! They gave me "maximum good will discount" as I had all my warranty services with the dealer. Happy enough with that!

Result! Quick email to my local garage got car booked in for £122 for parts and labour inc Vat to get the fix applied. No issues, I've had all three in warranty services with the dealer, only the 40k service which was when the car was 3yr 6mo old was at a local Bosch garage. Was told I got the...

Having the same thing, see my similar thread: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?p=3680405

Ok, false alarm on the brake lights, all are working. My colleague made a mistake and thought one wasnt lighting up! Also today, whilst so far it was only the TCS/ESP light which was on, today after ive parked for a while, the orange ABS and red (!) warning lights flash together. They go...

Have checked and the passenger side and top bar brake lights come on but the drivers side doesn't. Bulb for the light is fine (Swapped with other working bulk). I would have though they all run from the same circuit? Will check for volts at the light later. What fuse are the brake lights on...

I've got myself, prob is I can't find the install disk and if I download from the web it's not compatible with the older unit I have! Will check the lights tomorrow :) --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=57.164505,-2.118664

Hi Jimsky, I'll check that! Thanks, I like £6 switches :) I don't like £500 service kits and I hate a £1000 repair!

Hopefully im lucky! Horrible time for car finances, needs new tyres on the front and road tax and now a thing fixed! If its a speed sensor, can these be replaced DIY? (im an electrical engineer and handy so most car tasks are possible)

Hi, Yesterday morning when i started the car, the TCS/ESP warning light came on. I cannot reset by starting and stopping the engine or pressing the button. Ive tested it as well as i can and the TCS is not working (wheels spin) but im not sure about the ABS. If i brake as hard as i can, i...

I am needing new front tyres (225/40/18Y) and was going to get winter tyres but for all year round use. The back tyres were dealer fitted from new (Dunlop Sport Maxx) when i got it 3 years ago, they have done 42k miles and still have 4.5mm on them just now. They stick like shi* and last...
