Warning lights - false alarm
Posted: Tue Nov 05, 2019 10:10 am
Polo GTi 56 plate.
Problems with my wife's polo.
From time to time the following warning lights come on accompanied by warning beep:
ABS light, ESP light, Brake (red exclamation mark) light and steering light.
Also speedometer stops working.
However there are no actual faults. If she stops and turns the ignition off, and turns it on again after about 10 minutes, warnings clear.
Heavy rain seems to instigate it however, it has happened when braking or turning steering wheel on full lock.
So far both front wheel sensors have been changed with no improvement.
