Thanks Kaine
One of my friends installs is an ICE and handsfree kit installation manager he is going to have a look next week. I dont mess around with vehicle electrics as they end up releasing a mysterious blue smoke!!

Me too!! My car just came back from dealership last week after several ECU's have been replaced. I then had an IPOD kit fitted. And blow me, my brake assist popped up " brake assist" - Workshop.jomara said:
Now booked in for monday 29 Oct.
I would be interested to know what happened when I get the Treg back.

Thanks John! Much appreciate you welcoming me to the forum.
I worked as a buyer for Rover / BMW and Ford for the last 20 years, I know the supply base that VW use and the suppliers. I hope I can contribute soemthing to help others within this forum.
Cheers for the advice on the Brake warning light! I have been driving around with it still falshing.
An Engineer friend said that these 'sensors' scare you into doing something urgently not that you need too.
Cheers again John

I have had a few small problems:
After I bought the car some t*t salesman put a great scratch in the side took the dealer a week to fix it.
The director who was driving the car and couldnt park so all the atheos were mashed (me thinks it was a woman

).
The window seals whistle like buggery around 40MPH.
The battery mysteriously went flat one day while the car was sitting in the drive.
The brake assist warning/sensor fault has happended twice.
It burned through a set of Pirelli tyres in 6K miles.
Front brake pads had to be replaced at 21K miles.
Sat nav ariel stopped working after it had been in the dealers had to solder a broken wire behind the head unit.
Ipod connector went on the blink and had to be replaced under warranty (when the sat nav got broken :evil: )
First service at 19.5K miles cost ?242.00 (a bit steep for a dash of oil :shock: ).
Drivers seat base ripped at the seam (cos I'm a big boy??? :roll: )
Found wheels corroded onto hubs (sod's law that this happended on the motorway in the pi**ing rain - found that kicking hell out if it and swearing at the top of your voice helps to free it :wink: )
The problems are all silly things and Ingram VW in Ayr have done a fantastic job sorting out the problems the supplying dealer ignored.

:shock: Booked car into dealer with brake assist warning light in the meantime it broke down due to the foot brake snapping off. At the dealer for a week due to other faults. Replaced brake sensor and Six weeks later complete brake failure and dealer cannot find the fault. Car at dealer indefinately - has it happened to anyone else

:shock: :shock: First I've seen of this sort of problem. Hope it's sorted.
Brake Assist warning has featured a few times...sometimes linked to impending battery failure (low voltages bring on faulty electronics & false warnings) nothing so drastic as a broken pedal though.
