So here's a little guessing game so last night my Skoda decided to develop a fault.
So i will tell you what the fault is
What you have to guess is what is wrong and what if any warning lights may have come on.


So the fault is
ABS mechanical fault right rear.

Got it, fault is it's a Skoda. And probably the glove box light came on so you didn't see it... :whistle:.

Ill see myself out now Stevo , even if I am actually curious...

I'm guessing the reluctor ring is kaput!

So I'm thinking ABS and Traction Control lights lit up.

Because it's worthy of its own guessing game I assume it's not something obvious.

Tyre pressure low

From seeing this type of fault on other forums, I am guessing pretty much EVERY dash light is lit, as the ABS system is wired in some form or another to everything else on the car.

@t-tony yes Tony the magnetic ring has detached itself from the bearing so is not turning so car thinks wheel locked.
@Pond you are pretty much not far on the mark.

So 5 lights on
Abs

Traction

Steering ( electric speed sensitive and linked to esp system).

Tyre pressure light ( abs controlled tpms system ).

Bulb fault. ( afs system failure for auto lights corner bend system)

All i can say to the skip jibes is my last superb ( ooops sorry skip) drove onto the skip lorry when i scrapped it with 329k in the clock.
And if you look at the picture you will see my current one already has a few miles on it with no major issues.
I have never had to put a drop of oil in it between service check regularly always bang on max.
