Unplug it and see if its better. That will  confirm 100% its fcuked  :smiley:

Had it on an Octavia yesterday; although that was sapping power. Uplugged it, went for a drive and boom, he had full power again  :evil:

Got new sensor from ECP this morning. Part had a surcharge of £24 so I swapped it over in their carpark and got my money back straight away!
And yes that fixed it!

Did an oil and filter change yesterday, managed to do it without lifting the car!
