Hi everyone, ok - So here goes, My car started to develop a squeeking sound from the left rear tyre, about 4 days after, i've had the [p] (parking brake) light appear and the ESP light, VW main dealer told me i need a new ABS pump for £1,500.00, been reading a lot of information about things it could be but get no-where.
I have found a company that will fix the ABS module for £125.00 + postage but wanted to rule out other things first...I've got NO ABS warning light on and my brake lights are for some reason always on.
I found a temp. solution to the brake lights which makes me think its the multi-function module which controls parking brake, cruise control etc and is locatewd behind the dash....when i start the car up the brake lights are always on, leaving the car on i remove both power connectors to the left and right, obviously the lights turn off and i get a warning on the dash, put them back in and they work as normal....but turn the car off, i have to repeat the same.
Firstly, i need to find out what you think about the ABS, can it have anything to do with the squeeking? My garage has has the wheels off, sanded down the brake pads, cleaned the disc & everything - they are just as confused as me to why they squeek so bad.
We have checked the ABS connector and it seems to be ok. I am getting very frustrated with the warning lights, brake lights and the whole ABS talk, so any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Many thanks, Mehdi
