H went out this morning to do a deep clean on the interior (seats out and get right in there) to get a warning that the end of the world was nigh, nothing works, it’s all broken etc etc from the dash, along with much to do on the Bing/bong front
C003a was the actual error code at the end of the day albeit it generates a lot of collateral damage
This refers to the offside rear ABS sensor and if it comes on straight away (rather than after you start moving) it’s a communications error between the ABS ECU and the sensor
I got a bit twitchy here as I’ve just replaced the pump and I was worried I’d done something stupid at the pump end
On examination I could see that a repair had already been done to the loom at the axle leading to the sensor, the loom hadn’t been fixed back down properly and the wiring was exposed. A close look showed enough insulation tape to repair Trumps reflecting pool
Pulling it all apart showed a dodgy repair using oddments of wire poorly soldered and a dry joint was in there! Which I was actually quite relieved to find
All back together properly with proper soldered repair, correct wiring colours, heat shrink, cloth tape and self amalgamating tape around it all and fault fixed
Should Citroen include a soldering iron in with the emergency jack kit??
