SK 0 Posted October 8, 2007 My car sometimes (only occasionally) makes a tiny grindy-type noise when coming to a halt. It only does it stopping at around the 5mph mark and the pedal goes solid too. Its done it a few times when turning RIGHT into a parking space. Before I start chasing my tail around the 4 corners of the car I thought I'd ask if anyone has had a similar problem. I know its not pads discs or anything like that..this is a sound/feeling I haven't come across before...... :? Oh yes, its a 95 2l 16v and other than this the brakes are top dog!

Supercharged 2 Posted October 8, 2007 Does i feel like the ABS is kicking in?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SK 0 Posted March 10, 2008 It just makes a sort of grinding noise then the brakes come on! The pedal goes solid when it does it and once the ABS light came on and stayed on. ??? Modern cars! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted March 10, 2008 You most likely have a faulty ABS sensor. Get it on VAG-COM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andyroo 0 Posted March 10, 2008 Same thing happened on mine- ABS going of under light braking... Not sure how to describe it exactly cos I'm not technically minded but there's a ring (or something like) on the hub (or at least some bit near the wheel..) that if it has a crack in it, will cause the ABS to go off. We finally got to the bottom of this problem after new ABS sensors & replacement pump were fitted which didn't fix the problem! Good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
