abs/tc/red caution light *URGENT ANSWER PLS*

[peter206turbo]

Brake fluid leval is fine

Brakes seem to work ok, but the abs is'nt, and it seems like traction control is on all the time as i cant spin the wheels however hard i try, even in 1st in the rain

and the engine is running fine, not rough at all

 

[andycupra]

mmm... even with traction control on you can spin a bit, just not much...

but it does sound like ABS to me. given its not working...
also if the ABS aint working id expect the traction control may not work too as i think it uses ABS sensor information?

get it back to garage asap.

 

[andycupra]

also one thing, im presuming from your dash, that you have ESP not TCS?
not that it changes anything, but just to be clear...

tried turning ESP off? then spinning wheels?

 

[peter206turbo]

It has traction control (well the button for it is marked TCS so i presume i do)

Its wont let me turn it on or off either

 

[BlackFR]

Did you scan it with VAG-COM?

 

[cordobabrendy]

maf maf maf maf maf




maf
ive got a very similar problem at the moment. traction control wont work/switch but abs does. maf is on order from dealer under warranty. the only difference is mine has the cel and tcs lights on, not flashing tho.

 

[andycupra]

too many lights on for MAF fault surely.

my money is on ABS

 

[peter206turbo]

Did you scan it with VAG-COM?

Not as yet, its going back to Vauxhall 2moro (the dealer i bought it from), who have it booked in at seat, so shud hopefully be fixed 2moro

 

[peter206turbo]

Well i heard back yesterday that Seat have decided the the ECU is the fault, and it needs to be replaced, however there on back order, and i wont have the car back for 6-8 weeks, needless to say i've demanded a refund, and been and bought a clio 172

So a VERY brief cupra ownership, and i wont be looking at another VAG car in the near future atleast

 

[Madmile]

I would have waited the 6-8 weeks.

 

[peter206turbo]

I would have waited the 6-8 weeks.

No way i was waiting 6-8 weeks, when they wont provide a courtesy car because im not 21, and i need the car daily for work etc etc

plus when i saw this i had to buy it

 

[andycupra]

your choice...

 

[robertbadlad]

i had a maf go on my 01 ibiza cupra and it will put on the tcs light and the engen managment light. no others!
i also now have the same 3 lights on tcs,abs,brake warning light
any ideas as to what it is.

 

[peter206turbo]

Well hope not to scare you, but it turned out my Leon had a fried/faultly ECU, which was EXPENSIVE for the garage to fix
