why?

[BEOWULF]

bit of a prob my Leon cupra as been playing up driving today i notice that the tc light kept flashing when changing from 1st to 2nd gear but no wheel spin or nothing like that keeps doing it for a bout 5 miles then all of a sudden the abs light comes on and the tc light is permanently on all the time now u guys had this before
is it a sensor or something more serious ?

 

[supracupra01]

don't know about that but i have a similar problem, my TC light comes on and stays on, (not every time i drive, just the odd time) through the gears, when I'm stationary, on the motorway at 70MPH. it goes off when i turn the ignition off, it may not come on for a few days

 

[BEOWULF]

yer i usly turn the tc off but now i can not turn it of or on

 

[supracupra01]

same with mine, when the light comes on, its on permanent until i turn off the ignition???????? strange don't you think

My TC light came on and stayed on, when i VAG COM'd, it was a 00778 - Steering Angle Sensor (G85)
003 - Mechanical Failure - Intermittent
The light just went out on its own about 2 hours late, and never came back on.

will have to get it on a diagnostic machine and c what codes it throws up
i hope it not to serious as i have just put 12 month ticket on 12 months tax
on it as i was going to keep to the end of the year and chop it in for a newer 1

OK its my abs sensor what giving an intermittent fault phone up 3 seat dealers and not one of them as them in stock i get the i will ring u back and not one of them as bothered to do so it P***s me off to find that not on of them have the time to phone u back so do u guy's know of any over places i can get one from as my local mechanic does not deal with seat as they p***ed him about as well so he told me if i could get the sensor that he would fit it

right got me sensor today.
Took the wheel of to find that the main wire feed had be worn though buy my wheel.
so all that trouble to get a sensor i have had to find the wires cut though.
So i have rejoined the wires and everything is OK thanks for ya help guys.

big lesson for everyone there. best to always check wiring and connections before replacing sensors. at least you have a spare sensor now

i spent a fair bit on various sensors only to find that the maf connector wasnt a good fit! 3.99 for dielectric grease and problem solved. maf and lamba sensors all shiney and sitting in the cupboard
