markievw 0 Posted April 24, 2005 hi Have a m plate vr6. Should the abs light ( one on left of instrument panel)come on when you start the car for a few seconds and then go out. Mine doesnt seem to come on at all. Is there anything wrong with it? Also is there any advantage to changing the gear box oil on a regular basis? cheers mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted April 24, 2005 Put you foot on the brake pedal and then start the car. The light should come on with the ignition and then go off after a few secs. You should also feel a small pulse through the brake pedal... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZippyVR6 0 Posted April 24, 2005 also at about 7 mph should it give a pulse? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted April 24, 2005 Yes the light should come on then go off. MOT failure if it doesn't... All C VR6s left the factory with ABS. Pulse through the pedals will only be noticeable once you go above 10kph from switch-on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
