So back from vw audi tec in chelmsford today. Good specialist, reccomend them. They took it for a test drive and scanned it which showed an abs fault on the rear left wheel. They then span the wheel and read live data and the data was going mad. If its the sensor thats faulty, the data tends to stay in one place. If its the abs strip corroded then the data goes mad, which mine did.
Is it possible the rear wheels will affect the speed recorded, thus throwing the dsg? I assumed it was only front.
Error code 00290
Left rear abs wheel speed sensor
Mechanical malfunction
Intermittent
I have the car booked in on monday 19th for wheel bearing replacement and service, although im thinking I might do the wheel bearing myself if its not too challenging. Although im under the impression a whole new hub is needed as the hub has the bearing built in. Vwauditec did all this for free :) good to talk to and know their stuff
