ABS Light

[rajarella 0]

Not really sure if this is a problem but when I go over say 100mph (on private roads) in my VR the ABS light will come on and stay on until I switch the engine off. It works fine again then. I am getting a lot of movement/tram lining at the moment even though the tracking was done recently, could this be linked?

Could be wheel bearings or distorted ABS cages

The ABS cages are almost brand new so it shouldn't be them, could be wheel bearings though. Could excessive play in the wishbones cause it? I had Poly bushes fitted a couple of years ago and the car has never handled well since.

have you checked for fault codes? the light on mine comes on every so often again for no particular reason, sometimes halfway down the road, sometimes after a bump, sometimes after I've driven it a bit enthusiastically.. i've been showing a brake pedal position sensor fault on VAGCom on and off for over a year now but it hasn't stopped the ABS working. as long as it doesn't go over 100mph on the MOT rollers i wouldnt worry too much ;)

Haven't checked for fault codes. I don't have VAGCom, think I am going to invest in it though.

That is a very good point :D
