    Thanks Stephen,

    I think I would have also changed the hub ( which normally houses the sender) at the same time - for the cost of the hub- with- bearing.

    Kind regards,

    Gareth.

    i bought an audi a 4 b8 with bills and with one bill it said clutch high.it showed no signs of slipping then 3.5 years later it suddenly started to go then went completely while on a busy by pass.all changed including fly wheel £1500 garage in north yorkshire

  4. update.... garage managed to squeeze me in was worth the wait....it was the offside rear speed sensor,but he had to remove the wheel hub to get to the sensor.(circled in the picture)....it was seized so knocked out what he could then used the air gun with a grinder on the end to get the rest out.let that be a warning to anyone.(garage job).here is a picture with the wheel hub removed.no more warning signs and 2 bleeps everytime i turned the ignition on.thanks everyone for your thoughts.

    Nevertheless if it is the original battery it is long overdue to be changed irrespective of any sensor fault.

    had the battery changed a few months back,and halfords said it never needed coding.but it was a halfords battery i bought from ebay.they said it was new and i trusted ebay and halfords lol

    i had the rear calipers changed by the garage 3 months ago at a cost of around £500.i tried ringing the garage i know they are quite busy they have been good to me so i will try them first and let you know.....i tried clearing the faults ,but come straight back on...AA gave me a quote online at 285 fitted.....but left that for now until i know what the garage comes up with....but strangely enough the cd player showing its faulty too.....hence i thought battery....i mentioned about the battery a while ago but never come back to you all as everything was going ok....so sorry. regards stephen
