I’m having some trouble with my 54 reg 1.4 sporting and due to physical and mental health issues I’m struggling. I’d appreciate any advice you can give me.
For a few years I’ve had an occasional dashboard warning appear (particularly after it has rained) saying that lights weren’t working yet when checking all looks fine with all lights appearing to work. A couple of months ago this was replaced with a warning that Hill Holder and Esc had failed.
About a month ago the battery died, which I replaced. A couple of weeks ago another error appeared stating engine failure in addition to this the temperature gauge stopped working. The battery also seems to be losing charge.
I took it to my mechanic last Friday who told me that the ABS pump had failed and that the ECU had also failed. I was given an estimate of £500 each to get them fixed. Way beyond my budget.
Does this diagnosis sound right? Any other ideas?
