I have Skoda Octavia (1.6 TDI CR 2008) and I have fault on ABS/ESP fault light on dashboard. The lights come straight away as soon as you turn the car on. I ran diagnostic (VAG COM) and it shows this:
Address 03: ABS Brakes Labels: 1K0-907-379-MK70M.clb
Part No SW: 1K0 907 379 AK HW: 1K0 907 379 AK
Component: MK70 M MASR 0105
Revision: 00H35001
Coding: 0017665
Shop #: WSC 73430 790 00999
VCID: 7BF511673A10BBC6C11-802E
1 Fault Found:
00283 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor; Front Left (G47)
012 - Electrical Fault in Circuit
I changed the sensor and it did not clear the faut.
I took to the reputable BOSCH garage and they spend weeks trying to fix the problem. They did following work in chronological order:
Genuine VW Sensor
New wiring loom
ABS pump was taken off sent to test centre and it came back as fully working.
Changed the wheel bearing.
The fault was still there. They retuned it to me (charged me £580) and advised me to take to Skoda as they should know better.
Skoda dealership was not helpful at all. Instead helping, they scared me off with story that they will have to do it all again and that it will cost me at least £1500 to start with and much more if they cannot find fault straight away. So they were reluctant to take my car.
Now I am stuck. It failed MOT and the car which is only 8 years old and run perfectly fine apart from ABS. Potentially might be scrapped.
Have anyone had similar problem? Is there any suggestions of what should I do?
