Thanks! I haven't observed any anomalies with the speedometer and odometer. Were there any specific diagnostic codes that arose during your troubleshooting that might offer further insight?

I wasn't really paying super close attention to the speedometer to be honest, but I do remember the mechanic mentioning something about a code related to one of the wheel speed sensors throwing things off. I'm not super techy, but it sounds like we had the same thing going on. The workshop guys recommended replacing a control unit, and it fixed it right away. Cost me a fortune, though. Honestly, if you're seeing those ABS and traction issues, I would suggest you let a professional have a look at it.

I appreciate you sharing your experiences. Given the potential severity and the alignment with your past issues, I shall seek professional assessment without delay. I will post the outcome, which I anticipate will involve a repair cost of approximately 1000€. Your insights have been invaluable.

That sounds really familiar! I've got a C30 myself, and I had similar issues a while back. The ABS light was constantly on, and it felt like the traction control was having a mind of its own. It was pretty unnerving, especially in wet conditions. Did you notice any issues with the speedometer or odometer readings at all? Just curious if that might be related somehow.
