G76, Rear Nearside Level Sensor
I had the amber suspension warning on.
Suspension was good, doing all the shenanigans, up, down, dynamic and whatever else I had it do. VCDS reported one fault. Fault in G76 Sensor wiring.Took the rear offside wheel off and there was the sensor. Because I suspected, or should I say hoped, that it would be a WD40 fix with dirty contacts in the plug/socket on the sensor, that's where I went. As soon as I touched the plug/socket it fell off, not locked together, came apart. WD40 sprayed on and in both, plugged together a few times to wipe the contacts, and realised that it would not click in. I guess someone with big fingers had been there before me. Out came the trusty cable ties, one fitted to the sensor plug/socket. Checked with VCDS, fault cleared but the amber suspension light still on. Then reralised I had not yet refitted the wheel and my soot chucker was still in jacking mode. Put it all together and the amber suspension light went out. Fixed, and luckily was not a replacing all the sensor wires like I think Neil had to do. Oops!! Sorry, had the phone with me but dropped it and cracked the screen, so I landed up forgetting to take photos. Here is a drawing of nearside rear. Item Nº 2 was the problem.

Hey John,
I don't care. All I'm about is having folk talking.
