Abs failure loads of warning lights on at 4500 miles

Featured Replies

Had similar  issue on my old superb. The end fix that worked was a new dash instrument display unit and magic all the lights went out. They did try everything else first and nothing worked. The dealer swapped it first with a unit out of a used car for sale on his forecourt because the factory had run our of ideas. Hope this may help.

Well the garage have now identified an intermittent cable break in the abs loom near the abs sensor on one of the wheels. By piggybacking the cable the technician has removed the problem. New loom section arriving tomorrow - fingers crossed.

Latest news.

 

There may have been a breakthrough.  It seem my kodiaq instead of having a front wheel drive - rear axle - has the rear axle from a 4 x 4 vehicle.  Interesting  and hoping this will not be affecting anything else on the car.  They have now ordered  the loom that should be fitted in the 4 x 4 and it should fit the my 2 x 4 with the different rear axle. Apparently this happens!! Presumably when stock gets low etc.  Hoping now to get my bear back fairly soon.

 

Apparently!    Apparently they make it up as they go along.   Tell them to order up a prop shaft and any other parts required and fit and give you Haldex awd.

The Saga continues - now 6 weeks without my Bear.

The garage has exhausted all possibilities and the fault is still there.

Skoda are now sending and engineer from Uk technical to sort it.

They have ordered all relevant parts.

Will this guru fix my baby ???

Whether he is able to properly diagnose / fix it would be irrelevant to me now.

 

I think you've been more than patient.

 

The fact that a 2WD car has left the factory, made it through PDI and been with the customer with incorrect 4WD components fitted to it would be enough for me.

 

I'd be initiating a rejection.

At last I have my bear back,  

eventual fault was an intermittent break in wiring loom between abs unit control unit and A-pillar. 

Car returned after 7 weeks of messing about. Had to give the Audi Q5 back But glad to have the car back. 

Taking for long run tomorrow to ensure all ok and then we are down to negotiating goodwill with Škoda UK. 

Lets hope all gets sorted this week.
