AJ124 118 Report post Posted September 11, 2015 Even if expensive .. shouldn't car still have warranty and replace happening at no cost to you?It will be covered, the dealer however will want approval from Toyota HQ to ensure they get paid for the work. Squadrone Rosso, I hope this all gets sorted and becomes a distant memory. 1 Squadrone Rosso reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) If it helps, I have a ABS module off a 150 mile 2014 GT86 you're welcome to borrow. My biggest worry is getting the garage to replace mine if it works?? As Rob has already said, they should just change it, must be cheaper than them having to replace your car in the long run?Tell me, when this happens do you lose power steering or revs??

Squadrone Rosso 82 Report post Posted September 11, 2015 Nothing untoward at all. First time was reversing off her Dad's drive, second time was pulling on to our drive.The Auris diesel estate is actually nice. Got us the 180 miles to Heathrow in comfort, 54mpg & didn't break down....lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevinA 695 Report post Posted September 11, 2015 Been following this thread and you've had an unfortunate start, I'm sure the car will make up for it when all sorted. Have a good holiday and hopefully all will be sorted soon. 1 Squadrone Rosso reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Church 209 Report post Posted September 11, 2015 Of course you won't get Auris like economy in 86 .. but i more then justify to myself extra spendings on fuel vs saving money in more practical, comfortable, cheaper, roomier, reasonable, safer, sensible .. but less fun FWD hatch. I got back feeling of fun in driving just for driving's sake instead of transporting from A to B - that's enough for me :). I find myself sometimes going for another drive in night or sometimes choosing longer roads. So please don't let that unlucky ABS pump / service shop experience to get you down. Rather i wish when that issue is finally fixed from that point on for you to have as much impractical/unreasonable fun with this car as i have. 1 Squadrone Rosso reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squadrone Rosso 82 Report post Posted September 15, 2015 Hi from the U.S. Of A.Emailed the garage for an update. Toyota still not approved the part so they've ordered it anyway.Trouble is, it's on back order until the 24th so even if it arrives then, they only have a few days to fix it & test it, not the best part of two weeks we were hoping for.They've escalated the parts supply issues with Toyota but guess what? No reply to calls or emails.If dealers get treated like this, what hope do punters have In the meantime, enjoying the Camaro SS. Driving through Death Valley to Vegas later today 1 Qu1ckn1ck reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Church 209 Report post Posted September 15, 2015 From all american muscle cars looks-wise i like Camaro most. What i wouldn't like in it (to a bit lesser extent in mustang or charger too) though - that's one HEAVY porker. Yes, compensated with very powerful engine, but nevertheless, 1.7t (maybe more for convertible) is a bit too much in my book for coupe. Or 4-door saloon. It's 4x4 SUV territory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squadrone Rosso 82 Report post Posted September 16, 2015 Quick question. Could the steering calibration be out of kilter or the steering sensor be faulty, thus throwing the ABS / slip sensor error as a red herring?One of of my friends is adamant that this is the issue, not the ABS pump module but the dealer is having none of it.

Jamie_GRMN 177 Report post Posted September 16, 2015 I've had all of those lights on due to a quick alignment (was going back in two days) and its due to the steering angle sensor being out of sync... Shouldn't be an issue with a new car though which is odd. Get it to your dealer tomorrow/today and if they don't know I'll make the trip to have a look.I actually offered that as a suggestion on the first page of this thread... 2 Squadrone Rosso and nikndel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squadrone Rosso 82 Report post Posted September 21, 2015 Update from the garage, ABS part is further delayed until the 25th but delivery & fitment will happen on that day.

Squadrone Rosso 82 Report post Posted September 28, 2015 Car is back. Now ABS pump etc fitted.The dealer gave my wife nice flowers & a card and Toyota financial services refunded 50% of the first month's PCP.My wife just wants to trust it but has asked me to use it this week.Fingers crossed.
