Careful when messing around with the sensor and wiring near the wheel hub as when I was investigating I accidentally damaged the brake bleed nipple..

My daughter had a Abs fault on RNS wheel. Turned out to be the wire from the wheel which goes down the nearside trim to somewhere around the Front nearside door opening. There is a replacement for this piece of wiring you can purchase. It is Skoda Part number 6Q0927904H, in 2019 it was £45 including Vat from main dealer. I didn't replace it myself though.

My daughter's Hatchback had the same problem which, when I couldn't find the leak, I drilled a hole in the lowest part of the spare wheel well. It solved the problem as any incoming water drains away.. Not ideal I know but no longer get any lakes in the boot!

The original brake foot pedal switch I took off has a VW mark on it and is part number 6Q0945511. My local dealer hadn't got one in stock and I desperately needed to get the car back on the road so sourced a switch made by Intermotor (Standard Motor Products Europe Ltd) with a main number on the box label 51616. Where is the second switch located?

Thanks for all your updates on this thread..I cannot say that the switch was definitely faulty but thought it strange that both bulbs blew which with my very minor amount of technical knowledge lead me to suspect a faulty switch causing them to blow . I got a discount on the switch and thought it would be a cheap enough option to change the switch and bulbs in case the switch problem was intermittent as the EPC light and power loss happened a few months previously but seemed to clear itself. I bow to everyone's greater technical knowledge and the suggestion to re-fit the old switch, but if that switch is intermittently faulty it may well work and I suspect I may have already saved well over £100 by not going to a dealer to find and fix the fault so I'm quite happy not to mess with it again.

Had the same issue with a 1.2 petrol 2010. There was a replacement section of wiring that goes from the sensor to somewhere around the front passenger doorwell. I bought the genuine part and got an auto electrician to fit it and it cured the problem. Obviously depends on your skill level whether to attempt such a job yourself.

The EPC light on my daughter's 1.2 , 2010 Fabia recently illuminated and she lost power. She managed to get going again but it happened repeatedly especially after trying to pull away from red lights. We limped the car home and I set to work on trying to find the issue. A quick diagnostics check with a cheap reader showed no codes. I cleaned all the plugs and connectors but the car still lacked power. After some research I checked the brake lights and saw that both the nearside and offside were not working although the one above the tailgate was. I decided to change the brake light switch, which is situated on top of the brake pedal in case it was faulty and had caused a surge resulting in blown bulbs and the EPC light. Both brake light bulbs had indeed blown so I changed these. As soon as I switched the ignition on the EPC light went out and the car is back to full 1.2 power! Cost of parts, under £20.00. The brake light switch is easy to change. Turn it anti clockwise slightly to take it from it's mount. press the two side clips in to remove the wires and change it over with fitting being the reversal . Leave the brake pedal in it's resting position as you re-fit..Less than two minutes to change. I have posted this in the hope it may help other baffled owners save time and money.
