Apologies in advance if i have posted in the wrong forum.
Vehicle: 2005 W203 C220 CDi Avantguard Estate
Background: Owner took car off road as clutch stopped working. He was advised it was hydraulic issue. Over a few months he replaced master cylinder and tried to bleed. In the end he gave up and car was trailered into my workshop for repair. No other faults apparent and no warning lights on dash.
We replaced the clutch/flywheel with new LUK assembly and bled the system. All reassembled, perfect.
Current Problems: This is where it gets weird.
Firstly i have dash message "brake wear - see dealer". However, the brake pads/discs are almost new. I've checked the only wear indicator on the N/S/F wheel and it's good. I've even stripped the insulation on the wires and twisted them together. Still got dash message.
No brake lights. I've checked switch for continuity - no problem. Checked fuse - no problem. Checked bulbs - both good.
ABS warning light and dash message. My Autel scanner can't find ABS ECU. I've checked with Autel for any issues with my scanner - none known. So i can't check for ABS ECU error codes.
ESP dash message. I'll double check tomorrow (at home right now), but i don't remember and error codes.
I've not test driven the car on the public roads as i've no brake lights, but it certainly starts and drives perfectly in our large compound.
Any ideas what's going on?
