Window regulators (driver's door mainly)
Plastic gears or cables in regulator wear/fail, causing window to drop or stick. · Typical repair: £150-£300 per door (regulator + labour).
Suspension bushes (rear trailing arm and front control arm bushes)
Rubber bushes degrade, leading to play in suspension arms. · Typical repair: £250-£500 (full rear set + labour).
ABS sensor/module faults
Wheel speed sensor wiring corrodes or module fails internally. · Typical repair: £100-£400 (sensors) or £600+ (module).
1. High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) and cam follower
Cam follower (part 06D109309C) wears through, starving HPFP of fuel; leads to pump failure or camshaft scoring.
2. PCV (crankcase ventilation) valve failure
Valve fails, allowing boost pressure into crankcase; causes oil leaks into intake/turbo.
