Hi all. Ownership of a cupra has started rocky lol

i had a flat tyre earlier due to hitting a large pothole at about 35 mph which i believe.
put the space saver on and after about 20 minutes of driveing the car kept going into limp mode and abs light on.

my inital thoughts are maybe a sensor has knock out when i hit a pot hole or a coil pack and that i was just unlucky..

I was hopeing maybe someone with more knowledge of these cars would know a little bit more maybe.

its going on the diagnostics tommorro

oh yea its a mk3 cupra.

thanks tom

I had this when my spare was on the front. As soon as I changed back it was fine though.

Think it's because the rolling radius may be different so it thinks its wheel spinning all the time.

try putting it on the back or get your old wheel back on asap.

All fault codes have to be reset, even if the engine light itself goes out. If you have access to VAGCOM, get it on there just to make sure it's definitely not another problem.

Yeah you need to reset it
