Did they clear the codes from the ECU after changing the sensor?0

This is what annoys me about dealers.
Your car should still be under warranty in yet they want to charge you to do "diagnostics" for gods sake manufacturers get this sorted out and dealt with! Especially when its warning lights that are coming on!0 -
Not sure the problem is i got it fixed at Kwik fit and they said they reset the codesSeptember GC 30th aug-4th Oct £332.74/£375 NSD 3

You paid them to fix a problem and they have not.
Wheel sensor (hall sensor) is a very common cause of ABS issues, but when their computer says "ABS sensor fault" (or whatever), it can mean anything between the ECU and the sensor (most likely a corroded connector).
Or as happen to my last car, the metal ABS ring snapped causing the ECU to think the sensor was faulty when in fact the fault was with the very thing that the sensor senses!
Also, when there's been an ABS fault.... You may need to drive 20 miles or more before the car figures out it's ok again OR reset the ECU.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Am I missing something, a standard Vauxhall warranty was for 3 years on an 07 plate car surely?
The car is now 4 years old..0 -
As above. Pretty soon people will cotton on that a code reader does just that, it doesn't know how to interpret results or fix cars!0

If they reset the codes and the light has come back on, then it wasn't what they thought it was.0

So let me get this right. The issue was "fixed" at Kwik Fit, but then you took it to Vauxhall, and they want money to read the codes?
Sounds about right to me. Vauxhall haven't had any hand in this issue so far, so they are quite rightly charging for their time.0
