Alright guys,
Having a few problems of late. Most likely down to me installing new springs and messing something up in the process.
Im suddenly getting a single clunk when I first put my car on full lock. I also get it intermittently when braking. Sounds like it is coming from the drivers side front.
Also, two days ago on a long drive, I tapped my foot on the brake while doing about 70 on the motorway and the car went into limp mode. I managed to get over to the hard shoulder and the ESP "car skidding" lamp was lit up as well as the ECU lamp. Both solid.
I turned the ignition off and then back on and the car was out of limp mode. lights disappeared a few moments later.
This happened twice on my journey.
Now, as said, ive recently installed new springs to my car. I have also replaced the ARB drop-links as the rubber looked on its way out. I have had to replace the drivers side drive-shaft too as I broke this (See my other thread). The other side CV joint was changed about 5 months ago.
My first thought was the car went into limp mode because the ABS sensor may need a clean as I had to disconnect it. But now im thinking the two issues could be connected and my car is trying to tell me something.
What do you guys think it could be?
Any suggestions or things I need to check?
Thanks,
