You may well have been misinformed. The official MOT manual is available to peruse at your leisure here: MOT inspection manual: cars and passenger vehicles - Guidance - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) If you can't find something that mentions this specific warning light , or a statement that 'any warning light is a fail', then it is false information you have been told.

Not sure if it also helps, but I made this very short video intended to show the movement required to unclip the retaining wire. In the absence of the wire, on removed wheel. 20220917_151154.mp4

Sounds unlikely to me, do you have a meter with which to measure its voltage some hours after last use?

Not ideal, the VW4 in article number and VW240DDRS on label means it's from a Polo. I think up and down may be reversed if fitted to a Fabia or Roomster. Expensive too compared with a repair.

Cam sensor is hall effect so don't think resistance measuring will get you far. What's a spark plug cover?

If you're fully unlucky you've cranked it over with coolant in one or more cylinders and caused the chain to skip. Take the spark plugs out and look for any such coolant on the piston crowns. Torch assisted.

Have you looked at ebay listing images of what the guts of the wheel and airbag look like separately? I found that useful to work out best angle to lever etc. I've got some pics I can probably find of a face-lift mk1 which may be similar or same. Just have to find... Finding or making an optimal length tool also helped. Stubby flat screwdriver with sharpened tip to get in behind/under the steel wire loop rings a bell.

Your signature suggests that you have, or have access to VCDS, so a full autoscan seems like the natural course of action to discover what the engine ECU thinks the trouble is.

You can also edit the title yourself, I spotted when I noticed you have Freedom membership, see later edit to my previous.

Reported for mod attention. As a note to any reader, you can do this to your own posts to request attention. Pick 'report' from the dropdowns when you click the three dots on right of post. Much more effective as mods simply can't read every post. Actually being a Freedom member you could edit it yourself @YMe. Go into the edit function of the first post and you get to edit the title or any other part of it. 🙂

Driver's side on RHD cars.

Pretty sure motor runs one way only, or stuff within it does any required supply switching.

Trolling a tad aren't you J.R. ?

Just had a thought. I've made an edit early in the above post cos I made an assumption that could be invalid. Please confirm/deny that the wire you measured at 14V was so coloured.

The wiring looks like this, where the black/violet is the one you've measured 14V on (please confirm?). The brown is an earth. The WW and INT are the wires that select Wash/Wipe or Intermittent wiper operation depending on request from driver via stalk and BCM. I don't know as fact, having never measured, but owing to the fact that on some/many earlier models these two wires are parallel-connected to the washer motor at the screenwash reservoir, I recently guessed at the following command logic: WW=12V, INT=0V gives a wash of rear screen for as long as stalk held, followed by a pre-programmed number of wipes. WW=12V, INT=12V gives intermittent wiper function until stalk control cancelled. If I'm right this suggests that one or more of the WW /INT/Earth connections isn't intact, or the BCM isn't receiving the stalk inputs.

What year is the car please?

Please ask your mechanic to tell you what fault code numbers the car has logged, and then tell us.

Don't know locations, sorry. Try looking at ebay listing photos of cxxb engines, if there are any.

If you can still edit it (three dots on right of post), change it to a . or 'duplicate, deleted'.

Probably something like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254302964886 Lots of other thicknesses available.

Green is low pressure 0.3-0.6 bar 04L 919 081 Brown is higher pressure 2.5-3.2 bar 04L 919 081 B Another nice illustration of how the letter suffix isn't just a 'revision level'. Can be a functionally different part, and often is.

See if the attached helps. The rectangular boxes point you to the 'current path' number where the wire continues. These 'current path' numbers are the ones along the bottom of each page. CFD explanations.pdf

It's what came up for your VIN.

06J 103 226 A by the looks of it.
