No sensor view

[lawrie1]

Hi,
2013 gt. I bought extended 5 year warranty from VW when in got the car.
For some reason I get an error message that the front sensor is not working and ACC cannot be activated. This happens repeatedly during a drive.
I booked it in to dealer and was told I had to leave a £99 deposit in case the fault was not under warranty and they could be paid for their time.
Slightly foxed by this. As it is an intermittent fault I am sure to pay the £99.
Any ideas?

If the device is picking up too many errors for whatever reason then the message may display.
I hope you didn't leave the deposit.

Filming doesnt prove it warranty it only confirms the fault. What if the issue is from rats chewing his wiring or an improperly repaired body repair.

You need to do your own VCDS scan.

Thanks,
I cancelled the visit and phoned VW customer care who said paying for diagnostics was standard but were surprised at the £99
Found another dealer who says, just book it in.
I will film it as at least it proves the fault is there.

Always helps to have evidence to show as Sod's law says fault won't replicate when dealer has the car
