Jon_vr6 1 Posted November 6, 2008 yep its a daily mate when i first got the car it was 1300 quid nearly halved in 2 years aint bad! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted November 7, 2008 True. Being in the Manc area doesnt help either i suppose, my sis has to pay out a fair few quid being @ Salford Queys. Let me know how she does with her examination!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VAG-hag 0 Posted November 14, 2008 Could be worse chief.... Get her a few shiny bits & you're there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted November 14, 2008 Yeah could be worse mate i knew it would fail on something anyway corrados just always fail bet 75% of corrados fail every year theres always something that crops up MOT time!! Id rather it get a good check over though than a half arsed one. Anyway im glad when things get replaced more things not to replace in future Tester commented that the underneath is very tidy so i had that to smile about Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jon_vr6 1 Posted December 22, 2008 Its been off and on for a week now. The abs kicks in at slow speeds for no reason atall and the light goes on for a few seconds then goes off. While this is happening you can hear an electrical buzz in the car! eventually the light stays on and you get none of the electrical buzz noise and no abs kicking in! Had the wheels off yesterday to see if i could see anything wrong with the abs sensors but couldnt see much! What can it be ? And is there anyway i can disconnect the abs so the light stays on permanantly just until i can get it into a garage after new year? Cheers Jon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PROVR6 0 Posted December 22, 2008 Isn't there a fuse or relay you can pull for the ABS? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ADZ_VR6 0 Posted December 22, 2008 Try unpluging the solinoid on the pump shouldn't kick in then only 2 mins to do Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toad 0 Posted December 22, 2008 If you want to switch the ABS off permanantly, unplug a connection on the top of a strut tower, or remove the fuses, or unplug the ABS ECU. The issue could be a bent ABS rotor, or it could be a knackered ABS ECU. As Kip says, get it plugged in to VAG Com. It's probably not the best advice to be giving to unplug the ABS, especially with damp slippy roads around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted December 22, 2008 So just unplugging a abs sensor eg. a front abs sensor should stop it kicking in? ? I know its unsafe but atm just till january! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted December 22, 2008 Found it undid the plug on top of a front strut and abs light is on permanantly thanks toad should get me through till january! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
