After spending the better part of the morning running VAG, and then pulling the front wheels off; the problem(s) were located.
When I had (shop to be named later) Install my brakes, they left all wires hanging. So it didnt take long for the axles to do a nice job of burning thru them. You would think they could afford a zip tie or two, at the very least.
thank god the computer triggered a warning lite on the dash. At first i thought it was because of them leaving the resevoir cap off (which i found last nite). AFter bleeding the system, the codes were still present, so i started looking further.
You can even see where they left the new brake line, to rub against the drivers side axle.
(hmm, i wonder what happens when that finally rubs thru if left unchecked?).
Very dangerous stuff, people.
I have notified the particular shop that did all of this. I sent them PICS, and gave them the option of replacing all the damaged parts.
They talk the talk, now lets see if they walk the walk.
