hello

can anyone help please

i am in deep shock i have a 58 1.8 tsi octavia with the abs and tcs warning lights coming on and staying on , i have just returned from skoda with a quote to replace the esp unit (before they can ascertain whats actually wrong) for £1200 

this has been a great car but i could not warrant spending that much on it !!

A full scan with a proper diagnostic tool e.g. VCDS is your first step.

 

Due to the coincidence of bad weather, ABS and TCS I am going to have a guess that it's a wheel sensor that's failed or has a bad connection, cheap to remedy.

hello mic

thanks for your reply

its been going on for a couple of weeks before the bad weather - i first took it to my local garage who could not tell weather it was the abs or the tcs so they advised me to go to scoda for a proper analasis  they are saying they cannot tell the real fault until the eps unit is replaced so its a case of paying a £1000 plus to find out that there might be something else !!

such a nice car looks like it might be bye bye 

regards

A good second hand pump can be had for much less than that.

 

I expect this is one of the many Teves Mk60 failures, there are companies that are able to repair the most common failures.

 

This thread might help:

Dont rush into spending £1000s. The wheel sensor on the rear is ridiculously common. Replacing both is best as the other side will fail afterwards no doubt.
