Recent battery change on my 5 year old VW Golf at well known tyre/exhaust type garage chain
On restarting the car at the garage my ABS/brake warning lights came on
Subsequent VW dealer diagnostic check showed an electrical failure of the ABS ECU/pump
Cost me over £1000 to get fixed !!!
Battery change garage say 'unfortunate coincidence'
My gut feeling says 'dodgy battery change'
Any clever people out there who can suggest a possible mechanism to link the battery change to the ABS electrical failure (or was it just bad luck and my kids will have to miss out on Christmas pressies this year...?)
