Having phoned around VAG approved garaged and being quoted more than expected for a cambelt and water pump I decided my local garage were more than qualified to carry out this labour intensive yet basic job.
Only had car 3 weeks before this however since going in the computer warning screen comes up showing either coolant too low or overheat! (neither of which is the case) - No VAG-com code comes up for this but I am sure they have caused this having obviously changed coolant. I will definately be having them fix this.
However, the second and more concerning problem is my ABS light comes on and off intermittently. There is a crunching noise coming from the engine which appears to be linked to the abs failing AND/OR cutting back in i.e. the light going off. VAG-COM suggests problem with front right speed sensor however also suggests something else wrong. I do not understand why it would be making this noise and more to the point could the garage have caused this as they would have had the wheels off. It is a horrible noise and sounds expensive. Whilst this is an irratic fault given I had the car 3 weeks covering over 400 miles without problem either they have caused it or its an unlucky coincidence.
Please advise on problems and their likely cause.
As I am new to this forum having only recently come over from BMW's I would be greatful if anyone let me know if this is the correct place to post this or if there is somewhere else where it will get more attention.
Thanks
