ABS/TCS Warning Light - Wierd Problem

[Arnie Arnison]

Hello,

First post on here and I could use a bit of advice as I know nothing about cars apart from driving them!

I drive an 04 Ibiza Cupra TDI with 70k on the clock and recently the TCS/ABS warning light has been coming on but wierdly only after exactly 10 minutes from turning the engine on.

If I turn the engine off and on again the warning light goes out but comes back after 10 minutes. I have not noticed any performance difference or strange noises that I can remember.

I had a diagnosis run by an VW Group specialist garage and they found the following but didn't know what to do:

17911 - DF Alternator Term Implausible Signal
18265 - Load Signal Error Message to ECU.

Any thoughts, help would be appreciated!

Cheers,

Arnie
