My wife's C3 VTR has had an ESP/ASR fault (code C1310) and the dealer has advised that it is a faluty yaw sensor.
Looking in the manual it is located under the centre console so should be easy to renew.
Does anybody know what I can expect to pay for one at the dealers (or if I can get it anywhere else).
Thanks
Rob

Re: C3 Yaw Sensor ESP/ASR Fault C1310 - Sorted....!!!
Looked into this yesterday and removed the centre console. Discovered (as often seems the case) that the C3 VTR has different bits to the other C3's and that the Haynes manual doesn't cover it (why do they always do that?) but managed to remove the centre console anyway without damage.
Discovered that the Yaw sensor fitted looks nothing like the ones that come up when you search online but when I searched on the part number I saw an article which briefly mentioned the C5 too. Lucky me, I thought, I have a spare car still on the drive and, having already stripped out the centre console when removing the dashboard, access to the yaw sensor was easy.
The C5 yaw sensor is identical to the C3 with same part number, fixings, connections etc so few minutes later, fitted in the C3, fire up the lexia and erase the fault codes and now it's all ticketty boo again and no problems. Wife happy again (which is my sole role in life!!!)

Interestingly, before I discovered the C5 connection, my wife spoke to the garage on Saturday morning and they quoted £200 for sorting it out. Presumably they hadn't diagnosed it correctly, if that is the price of just the part.
I reckon having used several bits off the old C5 VTR over the past 2 years has probably saved me over £1000 just in parts alone so far (not that my wife will accept that as a reason to keep it on the drive much longer....!!)
