SUSPVAR : electronically managed suspension
State of the ECU: SUSPENSION_ECOTECH
Faults present : 1
U2005 : triggering (vehicle speed receipt anomaly)
Characterisation : Not characterised
Status : Permanent fault
Location : distant

DSG : under inflation detection
Response data
State of the ECU: DSG
Faults present : 1
U1213 : fault in the vehicle speed information received by the CAN from the ABS or ESP ECU
Characterisation : incorrect value received
Status : Permanent fault
Location : distant
U1213
This fault code is usually generated as a result of diagnostic interogation of the ESP controller. At the end of the diagnostic session, the ESP controller issues an invalid data frame, which is interpreted by the DSG as a speed information fault. This is a software issue and not a fault

U2005

Bit more reassured now.

My car battery died overnight so I had to have it towed for repair as there were other faults reported. Hand brake error and roll back faulty. The new battery did not lose these faults so I'm currently waiting for a handbrake repair which will start tomorrow morning. (Monday)
Hopefully that will be all that's needed. C5 exclusive, made in 2013, bought new in 2014, 120,000 km.
