C5 X7 ESP/ABS fault with codes and pictures

[admiral51]

Just an update to keep things tidy.
The part arrived within 3 working days so yes EuroCarcare well recommended, just needed the time to fit it which is now

Can i ask for the procedure to remove the panels to get to the Brake Pedal Switch please.
I thought it i had it saved but looks like i changed laptop since i last ventured into that area on the C5 X7 and you tube shows the LHD version so begging yet again

I think it should be screw caps that come off with a twist ani clock a quarter turn.

if not, it may be those mushrooms with a centre pin that need a poke in a couple of mm...

failing that, could be just mushroom fir tree fasteners that break your nails, spirit and swear jar...

I've had mine replaced 5 years ago - one of the relatively cheap fixes.

So as it's on the left hand side on a RHD, you should be able to get to it easily enough, but for details on removing the underside trim, have a look at my pollen filter removal guide which details the trim in question I think:

I didn't actually get round to fitting it, the warning went away and i sold the car before getting round to fitting it.
