    Eek she passed mot and had major service need some help

    Good evening all.. had the car in today for mot and major service, there was a few issues with the car first my indicators where not self canceling?

    they said to fix this ill need a new ring which i have not got a clue about and will need to be sent to vx at the cost off £500 quid. to make a indicator work pmsl

    then there was ticking noise from timeing belt area on start up, this engine has a timing chain, fairly common issue regarding the chain tensioner, told to moniter the noise as had oil change with part of service , if issue does not improve, possible chain tensioner replacement... ? is this a costly job and if so what sort of money will i be looking for.

    had the air con sorted just needed gas and now feels like my freezer in the car lovely jubbley.

    and to top it off kia decided to bin my k&n filter i paid 60 quid for and replaced it with that cheap crap one straight away i new the difference so fingers crossed its still in the bin somewhere....

    then i drive home and this logo pops up that's in the pic could you be off kindness to tell me what it means please

    sorry about the pic

    thanks you lovely lot enjoy your evening

    check this link, I know the symbols are for an Audi, but the symbol is exactly the same. It says brake pads worn. you mention that they have been replaced, have they fitted the sensors correctly???
