    Hello

    I have a 2013 Golf 1.6tdi and as im driving a number of lights come on the dashboard and the central computer just starts showing one error after another. After a while they disappear and then come back on again (see attached pic for lights). The stop/start, ABS, cruise control, stability control errors all come up. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

    Thanks

    I would guess an ABS sensor, but it could be anything. Needs to be scanned.

    just been through a similar scenario with my daughters Passat and it was an ABS sensor. You will need to get someone with VAGCOM to read the error code that tells you which one is faulty as a standard OBD reader wont show the error.

    The thing is, all of those come on at the same time so ABS, ESC, start stop, auto hold etc. I had a mechanic look at it today and it looks like it’s the alternator not charging the battery so when there is a loss in power all of those come on.
