It’s fixed and your happy, garage cocked up and owned up

I would start with the rear screen lines and attenna boosters that are fitted behind the tailgate trims also checking the wiring that passes from vehicle body to tailgate as it’s constantly flexing

That’s a good fix 👍🏻

I think you’re correct because that is a rare spec. Just remember to disconnect battery and have steering set straight ahead and steering angle sensor doesn’t rotate when wheel is removed and all will be good

You might be lucky and get away with a 2nd hand unit as the ones I’ve done have come complete with squib so that’s what likely has the component protection not the stork unit. The difference in part numbers relates to features like lane asist, cruise control, active cruise control and rear wiper. If the storks on eBay have exact features as yours then it should work

Yes 2 is squib ring/steering angle sensor

They come as a complete unit unfortunately unlike some other brands.

Makes complete sense, please let us all know what they say

My advice would Be to just get it done if you plan on keeping the car. Timing chain rattles typically turn really bad with no warning at all. From memory your chains will be at rear of engine so makes it abit more time consuming. I’d think 3 days labour start to finish. I would also change the water pump which is at the front of the engine as these a common for Leaking and easy to do while engine is out.

Do you have a fault Code as may help as there will be many different types of antennas on your vehicle

You may just be easier going to a dealer or TPS if you have a local one as there are many different versions depending on equipment level and they will advise using your vin number. The squib ring you need has component protection as I found this out when a customer supplied there own second hand

Wouldn’t recommend using a pin on the newer type washer jets as the spray pattern can be damaged easy

Could Also be the pump partially blocked as screen wash can build up into a gum like texture and block the gauze on pump inlet. Pop a pipe off one of the jets and give it a hard blow if compressed air isn’t available. You should be able to hear the bubbles in the washer bottle quite easy. If that is the cause then the bottle will need a good clean out as the blockage will fined its way back to the pump

All bolts that pass thru a control arm bush should be torqued to spec with the hub at the same height it would be if it was sitting on its wheels to improve ride quality and prolong life of the bush, wouldnt expect a major difference in suspension stiffness but worth getting slacked of and retorqued if in doubt

I would hope they have tested the module for a power and earth feed on the plug. Canbus can be checked for resistance or with a oscilloscope and all being good it points module having failed
