I hope this is not start of endless problems!

Left rear wheel ABS sensor stop working while I was driving from Norway to Finland last Friday. I got yellow "ABS", brake and DSC lights. Lost ABS (ofcourse), flat tyre monitor, DSC, CC and god knows what else.

Repair was 102,-? for analyze, 67,-? for parts and 15,-? for work. <_<

How the hell connecting a diagnostic plug can cost 102,-??

42k km on odo.

have not seen many problems like this.

Why does it cost anything at all? Isn't it a warranty repair?

I think the warranty period in Europe is way shorter. 2 years right?

I had a similar thing happen with my MINI the front wheel speed sensor broke and the ABS, DSC, and FTM light all came on. Apparently all those things rely on information that come from the Wheel speed sensor.
