  1. Hi all Sorry but i'm a newbie here. I have had issues with the ABS & VSC warning lights coming on and going off for a few months but recently they have come on and stayed on, however for some reason I had noticed that I do not get and inrush of air anymore when I remove the filler cap for re-fuelling. This seemed to start at the same time as the warning lights coming on. I never associated the two things (why would you?). Just took the car for an MOT and it failed due to ABS warning light indicates fault. I asked the garage whether the ABS had failed or if it was just because of the light being on? They told me they had plugged the car in and it showed that the ABS sensor needed replacing at the cost of around £350. I asked if this would definetly resolve the issue and they would not confirm this either way and just re-iterated that thats what the computer tells us. As this seemed a little wooley I removed the car from them and decided to try another route. While surfing the net I found several suggestions and some were tried and then there was a mention of fuel filler caps somewhere. I raced out and made a crude rubber gasket for the filler cap replaced the cap drove the car 200yrds and the lights went out and have not come back on since. I'm not saying this will work for all but it is worth a shot considering it's a real low cost repair. I still don't know why the filler cap can make those lights come on but it worked for me. Best of luck and I hope this helps someone.
