Anti lock braking system light
« on: May 05, 2015, 10:15:37 pm »
Hi,  My ABS light and EPS light came on about 2 weeks ago.  I did not go to my dealer (He is an hour's drive away and I was busy with my MIL in the hspital for opem heart surgery)

Today I had spinal surgery.  But, before I did my husband and I took the car to a local mechanic that Montieth Tire reccommended.  Before that I went in and asked the mechanic if they had a diagnostic for my VW 2005 Golf MK4.  He answered, yes.

While I was in surgery the mechanic called and left a message on my husband's phone that the code indicated there was an electrical problem - but unspecified and that they would just start replacing things until they found the problem.  This seems shady to me.

BTW I had my brake fluid replaced, at the dealer, about 2 months ago.

Do you think that they have a legit code reader for a VW?
Shouldn't a decent mechanic be able to do some electrical testing instead of parts replacing?
Any thoughts on what this could be?

I thnk I am going to have my husband call them and tell them to cease work on the car.
