Warning lights appeared together

Ron75

Hi all, I drive a Tiguan 2.0 TDI automatic from 2015. Never really caused any issues, but this morning while driving the yellow warning lights for parking break, power steering, ESP, ABS and Tyre pressure came on. I've attached a picture of the icons. Garage only got time to read out the error codes on Wednesday.

Has anyone come across this and would be able to advise what might have caused it? Is it serious and still save to drive?

Many thanks in advance 👍

Likely an abs sensor.

Could someone have collided with the car making contact with the front wheels or forcing the wheels against an obstruction?

Car battery ever changed ?

ABS sensor probably. Very common fault. Very cheap fix if so. The sensor is around €20 and I usually pay €50 labour to replace it.

I can't exclude this possibility, but believe I would feel some vibrations when driving, which is not the case.

Yes, about 18 months ago

Finger's crossed it'll be something that simple. Guess it's still safe to drive carefully?

Not really no, but I do it all the time so can’t exactly condemn it

Not what you want to hear but check that you haven't had any little furry friends visiting your lovely warm car. This is the time of year that they attracted to heat at night and they just love to chew wires.

Hi all, thanks very much for your inputs. Much appreciated!!!

Got the car back and it was indeed the ABS sensor.

Garage charged 35€ for the sensor and 135€ for their labour. Plus 70€ for diagnostics. All prices including 13.5% VAT.

€240 for abs sensor sounds expensive in my eyes but that garages for you I guess. 70 for diagnostics in my eyes is pure money grabbing in my eyes dogs on street knew it was abs sensor

Like I said I usually pay around €20 for the sensor in the motor factors myself and my mechanic charges €50 labour with no diagnostic charge but I bring him cars all the time so I get looked after. I think a diagnostic charge is fair enough for standard retail customers but €135 labour is definitely taking the piss. The price for the part was fair tho.

Unfortunately, they're not the only ones who charge 70€ for diagnostics. I would find it fair if they would return 50% when they actually do the repair, just to make sure customers don't abuse the service and then go to another garage who may charge for diagnostics.

Although expensive, I'm happy they got it done so quickly.
