    There is a known problem with these cars, and it is a software problem. Call your authorized dealer and they can probably make a reflash of the ECM to prevent this issue from happening again! If not, there could be a problem with the oil pressure sensor! It does not really sound related to the work with the catalytic converter if they didn’t damage a wire or something like that!

    The P0456 often appears if you have been refueling your car with the engine running, or forgot to tighten the fuel cap properly. It can also be a small leak in the EVAP system or a broken EVAP purge control valve.

    However,  I would look at one of the first reasons first!

    When you replaced the carrier, did you check so the caliper piston was moving freely, by trying to compress it?

    Hello. Quite difficult to say without seeing the car ofc and it’s difficult to say if it’s related. It could be water in any fuse box or a damaged wiring harness. If it won’t crank sometimes, I would check for any signs of water, corrosion, or damaged wirings between the ignition, the fuse box, and the starter. Especially check for it in the fuse boxes 🙂

    You need to read the codes and publish them here to get a better answer. However, it’s a common issue when there is something wrong with the radar /steering angle sensor on these car models 🙂

    First check for any vacuum leaks around the intake and vacuum hoses. You can use this guide: https://mechanicbase.com/engine/how-to-find-a-vacuum-leak/.

    It sounds like something went wrong when you hooked up the brake lights from the middle one. You can’t just do that normally as it may get the wrong resistance, depending on how you wired it! Try to remove this wire to the brake lights and see what happens

    Looks like the nut is a little bit rounded. First, you need to knock away the “locker” on the nut (You see where they knocked it in, knock it out instead to remove the nut more easily. Then you may want to try another socket drive which can reach better.

    However, it may be stuck and some heat to the nut would help!

    Hello.

    The oil problem is most likely not related to the EPC Light. VW are knows for burning a lot of oil, so it could be normal.

    However, if the EPC light is on, there must be a trouble code stored which you need to read. Other common reason for an EPC light if the engine is replaced is like a brake light switch. But need to check the trouble codes!

    Hello. Did you read the codes from the engine control module? If not, start with that and post the trouble code number here 🙂

    Ah = Ampere hours. If you want something to start quickly, you should look at the amperes. The ampere-hours basically mean how many hours it will last under a specific amp load!

    Hello. As I understand, the engine won’t crank but just clicks when trying to start? Check out this article if it can help you: https://mechanicbase.com/troubleshooting/car-clicks-when-trying-to-start/

    I need the exact model, engine etc to determine if your car has a mechanical or electrical power steering pump. However, if it’s mechanical I would check the serpentine belt and the tensioner to ensure everything seems fine because it seems like it comes when the belt gets loaded when turning the wheel. If it’s a mechanical pump I would also remove the belt and turn the pump wheels etc to feel if something feels strange.

    If you have access to compressed air, remove the hose going to the tank from the EVAP purge control valve. Remove the tank cap and carefully try to blow into the hose, if it’s building pressure the hose is most likely clogged somewhere and it needs to be inspected the whole way. You can try doing this with the other hose going to the engine also.
