Seeking Help for ABS Warning Light and Faults in 2019 Seat Tarraco Gas Model

Hey there! I dealt with something quite similar on my 2017 Seat Leon not too long ago. I don't claim to be an expert, but I've definitely had some hands-on experience with car issues. Brought mine to my local workshop and they diagnosed it as a defective ABS control unit. It was unfortunate and bit of a hit on my wallet. Ran me about 1000 Euro to replace and reprogram it. But the peace of mind is worth it, the ABS light vanished and it was back to normal. It's a bit hard to confirm that's your issue without more details though. Could you possibly share your symptoms in more detail? Info like error codes or specific warning messages would help to narrow it down better. Hope this helps a bit!

Appreciate the advice! I'll jot down the specific warning messages next time they pop up. As for the mileage, she's clocked 145351 km already. Not sure if that might be causing this but I've heard it's a common issue with higher mileage cars. Last serviced just a couple of months back. I didn't check the ABS control unit then, maybe should have. Sounds like I might need a trip back to the workshop soon. A thousand Euro is quite steep though. Fingers crossed it's something else or at least less costly!

No worries! Yeah, capturing those warning messages could be a gamechanger. Just remember, many things could trigger those warning lights, including a faulty speed sensor, wheel speed sensor, or even brake fluid level. Regarding the mileage, yes, higher mileage means more wear on the car parts including the ABS/DSC system. However, it doesn't necessarily mean it should be failing at this point just due to mileage. Definitely check the ABS control unit this time, and don't forget to check the brake fluid level too. The repair cost tends to fluctuate based on the region and the individual workshop. It can feel steep, but without the ABS operating correctly, you're compromising your safety on the road. I would definitely recommend getting a second opinion as well, especially if the cost feels high. Sometimes, different workshops have different opinions on what's actually causing the issue. And the solutionmight turn out to be different. Good luck with it, and here's hoping it won't dent your wallet too much!

Thanks for the valuable insight! I appreciate you taking the time to help out. It seems like I've got a few things to check out before I go back to the workshop. And yes, safety should definitely be the priority, a fact well remembered considering the unpredictable road situations nowadays. I'm also considering getting a second opinion like you suggested. Maybe another set of mechanic eyes could spot something different. Fingers crossed it won't turn out too expensive in the end, though. Thanks for the assist again! Cheers!
