No worries. Mine was also the ABS module in Simpsons Skodas (Colne) 'opinion'. Yet it was sent off to an independent company which found it had no fault found. Skoda replaced the module anyway which didnt fix the issue. Turns out the wire loom had corroded. Which was replaced and fixed the issue. Yet Simpsons claim that both issues were the fault.

I've posted a video of what happened to mine. Is it the same issue? 20191117_000957_1_1_1_1.mp4

Check under the spare wheel. It might be full of water. Also check all the carpets and make sure they're dry.

It module has already been to ecu testing they said it was fine but the fault still remains. I'm just getting it fixed by skoda, I dont want to but I want that piece of mind that it has been fixed by them. As I plan on getting rid of the car that same day. I've had the car for 4 years, I've loved every second of it but soon as it had a big bill I was going to sell. I cant / dont want the DSG, the engine or whatever else decides to die next, to be another big fat bill. I appreciate all the help you guys have given me over the years too 🍻🍻 Here's their breakdown anyway..

I've already emailed them (Simpson's Colne) for that information. You're not the only one that thinks its excessive. I've spoken to 'live chat' on the skoda website but they were useless. I've just finished work so just need to find and email Skoda UK. See what their thoughts are on this.

This is the fault that they sent me on their online. But yes for an ABS module (or pump as the technician said) this is the cost all in. I am going to write to skoda UK about the cost.

Ee Prom Malfunction. £2000 repair bill all in. 😭😭

Car has been left at Skoda today. Drove it from my garage to Simpson's and nothing came up on the dash, car felt great to drive although I didn't boot it at all. They're looking at it on Thursday so I will report back then.

As far as I am aware yes. Everything was checked and rechecked.

Update on this. It's an odd one, now I've had it looked at in a bit of detail I'm hoping someone can shed some light. As the post says, its booked in with Skoda on the 17th October. 'Car has developed a fault 'brake error work shop' comes up in the maxidot along with 3 beeps. Car has been into an independent garage (one that I trust and I have always used). It was plugged in and the error found was that there was no communication with the ABS module. This was sent off for repair but came back with no fault found. The ECU has also been checked to see if this is working correctly and it is. The brakes have been blead but the fault is still there. The battery has also been replaced and is working as it should. We also thought that it could be due to the CANBUS causing an electrical fault. So we put the old swing unit back in the car in replacement of my android head unit. I cant drive the car as it sometimes cuts power when the fault comes up and because it's a brake fault the DSG will not let you take it out of park when the fault is on the dash. Other times it will go into limp mode. Anyone any advice? The car is 2013. Done 43,000 miles. Serviced by skoda every year. I need a car for work so it might be time to sell cheap for spares or repair. Car is booked in to now be seen by Skoda next week.' 🤞

I should have added. 8ts getting plugged in on Monday

Hi I have posted about 'Brake Error, Work shop' displaying on the maxidot, last year or so. I ended up charging the battery and it seemed to have solved the problem back then. Recently the same error displayed time and time again so I had the battery replaced. So new battery in and it displayed the same error on the maxidot again, but this time when I tried starting the car it fired up and was good to go. Has anyone experienced this and got a fix? Theres literally one solution that I have found on the internet and it points to the battery. I did try speaking to Skoda but they actually didn't care to know about the issue unless I booked it in with them. Any ideas are welcome. Cheers

MDI USB works fine.

Apologies is I'm sounding a bit thick but I can't see it on here. 🙃🙃🙃 Sorry

Is that so I know which one of these I need? And thank you for your reply mate.
