Have PM'd you.

Hi Rob, No they only come on after about 60 seconds, then stay on. Regards

Now just hold on there buddy...ABS warning light and the triangle are back on after about 1 minute, with just the ignition turned on. 1. PAS not working from startup, but appears to work sometimes. SORTED 2. Engine Management Warning light on. :thumbup. SORTED 3. ABS warning light on. SORTED 4. Starter motor crunching each startup. SORTED 5. Traction Control Warning light on all the time. SORTED 6. Steering pulls to the left. 7. Drivers seat creaks and is slightly ripped, needs a new set but local scrap skoda chap states never seen the pattern before. I CAN LIVE WITH IT 8. No in car entertainment, yep I drive with no radio or CD. Hopefully I'll come across something soon as long journeys are tiresome. SORTED 9. MOT due in a few weeks. SORTED 10. Need another front bumper. (Damaged) SORTED 11. Need to fit rear bumper panel properly. ONE DAY 12. Shared airvent at front is slightly broken. I CAN LIVE WITH IT 13. Battery cover broken. I WILL LIVE WITH IT 14. Window switch on drivers door needs replacing. WHEN I HAVE THE MONEY 15. Window switch on front passenger door. SORTED 16. A full set off new dust caps SORTED 17. Replaced the nightmare brake switch on brake pedal. Driving feels different, not sure why. SORTED 18. 9 LED bulb at front now flickering. SORTED 19. Headlights need a polish inside. 20. And the old faithfull, leak from the back door behind the driver, making the footwell soaked.

3. ABS was more than I want to take on again. The part was all but impossible to trace, but using various sites I tracked down what at the time seemed to be the only one available at the time. I checked EBAY, posted requests to breakers without a positive indication that what I would be sent would be right. Advised NOT to send ABS unit away for fixing as may never see it again; there are some cunning people out there. Finally after just about to give up following hour upon hour of research I tracked one down with 14 days of warranty 4 miles away. Local mechanic despatched at a cost of £275. Fitting and and MOT was another £141 ,plus the initial diagnosis of £94. I'd already spent lots elsewhere. All fixed, lovely ABS, ASR and EM leds all gone. Thankfully I found a really decent mechanic who want to fix it ,not just tell me it was faulty. In a word, lots of emails, money, time and research will get it fixed. 8. Thanks, but there is no price on for it. 13. I'd like to see it right, but at the right price only. Derri

Between 58-59 MPG.

The VCDS-Lite arrived from Ebay seller and works a treat. Exactly the same codes as stated by garage. 18061 P1653 Please check DTC Memory of ABS Controller etc & 00290 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor; Rear Left (G46) 30-00 - Open or Short to Plus I've been told after extensive garage checking it is not a new sensor so looks like an expensive one. :'(

I dare not check at present water leak just yet. I have another problem to add to the growing list, the 9 LED bulb/light at the front is flickering on one side. Only yesterday I spent hours and 2 new tork screwdrivers trying to fit main bulb correctly and dropping spring clip down the front...eventually recovered it, but it's a very poor fit.

My error. I do have a hatchback not a saloon. I spend so many hours looking at the dashboard I don't have time to venture round the back. :(

whoops The appeal of the new dust caps will be somewhat reduced by the fact I only own 2 wheel trims though.
