7 Dashboard faults out of nowhere

Hello,

I have a T6.1 (70 Plate), 2.0TDI Highline with 35k on the clock. It has also been converted to a camper by CJL Leisuue.

Last week I drove it from Bristol to Aberdeen without a single issue. It's been used for a couple of shorter trips since, again no issues.

Today I turned it on and out of nowhere the dashboard starting pinging away with the following faults:
  • Manoeuvre breaking currently unavailable.
  • Error: ABS/stabilisation control (ESC)
  • Error: start-stop system
  • Error: Hill Hold Assist
  • Front Assist unavailable
  • Error: headlight range control
  • Error: parking aid (when engaging reverse)
There was a cruise control one as well but I can't remember what it said and didn't catch it on video.

It seemed to drive fine but I could swear the steering felt heavier than normal.

Turning it off an on again didn't make any difference the first time round, although the second time only some of the faults came back (can't remember which).

I'm hoping it's something simple and cheap that is related to the functioning of all these systems, maybe an electrical issue, but would welcome any ideas?

*Edit*

Found somebody local with VAG-COM so will get it scanned.

Early Googling suggests ABS Wheel Speed Sensor or battery on it's way out.

Will post scan results when I get them.

Thanks in advance.

Offside front right, booked in for a replacement next week :)
Did both of mine last week. If you’re remotely handy with the spanners, it’s a simple DIY job. The hardest part is jacking up the van & getting the wheel off. If you can change a wheel, you can change a speed sensor. The sensors range in price from around a fiver to 40 quid, depending on which brand you buy & where from.
