Service is due so I'm hoping to get it booked into the garage next week ...
I've got a few faults/issues that I'm looking to get fixed while it's in too. Has anyone got any advice or technical info on any of these faults/symptoms that I can pass on to the garage?
Firstly, I'm getting a creaking when pressing the brake pedal (whether moving or stationary) that seems to be coming from the o/s/f calliper. Is this common and likely to be a calliper fault?
Secondly, I have an intermittent ABS/ESP issue that is recording the following fault code:
Quote:
03 Brakes
System description: ABS/ESP allrad D57
Software number: 4D0907389E
Coding: 08397
Trouble codes:
01423 - Lateral acceleration sensor Implausible signal
Intermittent
|
Is this likely to be a faulty G200 sensor and does anyone have any info such as part numbers and location? (I can't find it in any of the 'tech dump' documents).
Thirdly, I've had a whirring noise for a while that's engine-speed related (starts about 2000rpm and gets higher pitched with increasing rpm). The garage had a brief look at it when it first occurred but suggested that I "let it develop". They suspected the bearings in the alternator and/or the PS pump. The noise hasn't got any louder in the past few months but I'd like to get it fixed now. Is there any simple way to determine where the noise is coming from?
Lastly, I seem to have a bit of front bumper droop. I noticed a while ago that it didn't seem to look quite right. Studying the recent Carding Shed photos (see attached), using Jim's car for comparison, there's clearly a gap that shouldn't be there. Has it been refitted incorrectly or is there some way to adjust it?
