I've booked my car in to a VW indy next week for a list of issues - but don't have a clue what the problems could be.
Issue 1. These's a 'slushy' noise coming from the from right wheel at low speeds. Firstly, I thought it might have been the tyre - so dropped in to a friend of mine - who owns a tyre place, and he said the tyre was fine and it could be a bottom arm issue. There's no noise after 15-20mph - just a low speeds.
Issue 2. My dashboard has lit up like a over exuberant Christmas tree. About 2 weeks ago, the ABS, ESP and tyre puncture lights started popping up on the dash - after around 45mph. They would go off after a restart and then pop up again, if I went over a speed bump/45mph. Now - the lights are permanently on. Add to that, the Steering wheel light has popped up on a amber now. I know the first issue is related to the brake sensor - because I had a similar problem with my first MK5; but is the steering wheel light related?
Issue 3. When stopping the car on a slight down hill, there's a noise coming from the left of the chassis and sounds a bit like a ball rolling down a tube and hitting a dead end. It's the best description i can make, tbh.
On top of all this, the rear brake pads are also getting done. The paint work is a shambles, it needs to go to VW because the rust has started showing on the wings and the wheels need doing...which i'll be plasti-dipping, once this rubbish weather decides to do one.
The car just feels so creaky and worn at the moment.
