Thanks. Does the top number have to match too? Do those brake lines just unscrew? I've found one on eBay for £50, does that seem about the going rate? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180678327047?redirect=mobile

Which is the part number on here?

My symptoms are that the front brakes stick on and then I loose pressure in the pedal. Followed by yellow ABS light and 3 beeps every now and then. No red light or exclamation mark?! Are they easy to swap?

Quick update. Bought a £6.85 lead from eBay. Downloaded VCDS light from Ross Tech. Managed to turn my air bag light off with no dramas. Definitely DO NOT buy a £50 code reader, just get a cheap lead instead.

Legend. That's answered my questions. Thanks :)

Can anyone clarify which is my main fan then? Expensive fix? I'm presuming your saying its not going to last? Seems ok this afternoon so far.... 😕

😃😃😃😃😄 Ok I'm getting somewhere now. The temp is going up as the fan (smaller one on the drivers side) IS stuck. When I hit it it spools and the temp drops. But it sticks a bit an sooner it later stops. I've WHALLOPPED it again an the fan has come on FULL force dropping temps...
