Hi guys,

a mate of mine not on the forum has just purchased a stolen recovered fabia vrs, can we please not get into the a discussion about the car, but more on getting the matter fixed.

The car came with a basic cut key, which just starts the car, and then cuts out, obviously the immobiliser is kicking in, today a mobile locksmith has been out, and got the car started with a new key, but it still needs some coding, but it does start the car for the mean while, it just doesn't opertate the remote locking.

Also noticed the electric windows do not work.

Once started most lights turned off, however the yellow steering wheel light stays on, which brought up the codes:-

01288 Steering Assist Too High Terminal 30

And

00778 Steering Angle Sensor G85 No Communication

I have tried to do the steering angle sensor buy turning it one turn right one turn left and driving and logging in, however it wouldn't let me get into the basic settings.

Having done a bit of research on the 01288 fault, this pretty much leads to the pump or wiring being rotten, would this be the case here? Or has that fault been brought up from the angle sensor?

Many thanks in advance guys

Also when it was being driven slowly to try and do the angle sensor basic settings, the abs, traction and hand brake lights starting flashing and beeping.
