Help please

need some advice before forking out cash!!

recently my wifes A2 1.4tdi 75 was crashed into the back of another car, only minor damage it seems, new bumper, grill, radiator, and managed to wangle to new lights!!

since getting it back both the ABS and ESp lights are on permanantly and the brake warning light beeps and flashes a red exlamation mark in a circla at you.
it also has no power whats so ever!

the garage said they ran the computer through it and no brake faults showed up? only some faults regarding some sensors and to get it checked out!

took it to a vag ''specialist'' who discovered the folloeing faults

renew intake manifold sensor £165
renew intake air temp sensor £160
renew fuel temp sensor £91
renew coolant temp sensor £86

then he said these may recitfy the ABS fault?

can someone clarify the parts i need please, i can get a coolant sensor no problem.
and i think repacing the map/maf will rectify the first two but i'm not too sure.

anyone care to shed some light on this faults please

thank

Has the unit ABS that sits behind the N/S headlamp been damaged ? the circuit board faces the rear of the headlamp so it's very easy for it to get broken. Mine was and before the replacement was coded it had the same fault as yours. except for the lack of power.

All the sensors, apart from the coolant temp one are would be vunerable in a front end smash. If they were 'overlooked' when assessing the accident damage, surely they should be covered by the insurance

thanks for your responses, the 'engineer' deemed the sensors and abs were not damaged in the accident? not sure how he could confirm that, so its back to the insurance company to see if they be willing to stump up the cash for the repairs.
