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.
