  1. I've bought a sensor from eBay to keep in the car 😀 I'm not going to tempt fate by messing around with something that isn't broken. It doesn't appear to be the 'A' version however for £15 it might prevent a bigger issue. Edit: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334119302412?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=uI6ymBN1QH-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=BbKs5X6FTgi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

  2. Hi Jon, as an awfully nice traffic policeman once commented about my cab callipers, painted red eh, makes it go faster does it, apparently he was one of the new breed that have to go on a course about spotting vehicle defects out on the road and told me all about it in great boring detail and when he finished I asked him about the reason why he thought I had painted my callipers, he didn't even come close so when I explained about discs becoming magnetic because of friction therefore attracting any small parts of rust that came off the calliper or disc centre and thats why the disc ends up looking like a 45 record, if they are painted no metallic debris other than what occurs naturally, all this came from a braking seminar for Lucas/ Brembo that I attended 30yrs ago, very glad they knew what they were talking about, they make the brakes. Steve.

  3. Does it have automatic transmission? Some VAG cars have a system that shifts down a gear or two if it detects that speed is increasing while the brake pedal is being depressed. It's a way of providing engine braking. The wheel wobble is most likely the wheels have not been balanced, though it could also be caused by a loose or worn joint (including rubber bushes,) in the suspension or steering.

  4. Sure thing Gareth, if the buyer collects or accepts carriage cost £1000, otherwise £1100 to anywhere in the UK (abroad on a case by case basis) hope this helps. Andy
