chris CORRADO 0 Posted April 21, 2004 ok guys i have been hunting around on the forum and i think this is a new one LOL probally not ! :wink: ok this morning when i fired her up all perfect... when i drove off about 3 mph the DAMM LIGHT CAME ON :mad: ok the at the next set of traffic lights i stopped rebooted the car LOL and the the light came on for a sec 2 little flashes and the nothing... hummm light goes green when i drive more than 3 mph the light switches back on.... :mad: then i stop normally and the light stays on.... only switches off when you turn off the car... i am woundering if the ABS sencor has gone or is it something more serious???? cheers ------ chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted April 21, 2004 Sounds sensor related rather than an ABS problem in itself..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chris CORRADO 0 Posted April 21, 2004 how easy is the sencor to get to? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted April 21, 2004 The system does a self-check of all the sensors and valves when you pull away and hit 7mph after an initial switch-on, so if there's a physical sensor problem, or a physical valve problem then the light will come on then. If the light comes on when you're moving, or slowing down, chances are it's the usual knackered electrical sensor problem. If it's a physical sensor problem, clean up the sensors etc etc, but if it's a physical valve problem it may be more complicated... :-\ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted April 21, 2004 how easy is the sencor to get to? Not very... the original ones are metal and really get destroyed when taking out... not expensive to replace tho... Use vagcom to find which ones the problem but your car may just need a good pressure wash, also check all the abs connections Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
