ABS warning light

Recommended Posts

Ok heres brief history of whats been going on.

 

 

Driving home 2 weekends ago and the ABS warning light comes on. At this time i do not know if this is serious or not so i get home look in the user manual and it says the car should be taken to a garage.

 

Call up the guy says probably a dirty sensor.

 

Anyway don't drive it until the day i take it in, drive it to the garage and the light has not come on te wohle way htere about a half hour drive.

 

Get there the bloke says do you want to leave it or not, i do and he cleans the sensors and i take it home. Light still off, drove about 200 miles over weekend and on my way home light comes back on. Have to continue driving cos i'm miles from home lol so i've been driving car while light has been on its not gone off.

 

I asked elsewhere but i wanted to ask more specifically from corrado owners.

 

So any ideas, the braking doesn't seem to be hindered, someone said to see if you had the "hammering" sensation when you braked heavily as that was the ABS kicking in and i do get htat.

 

so is htis just a connection fault?

 

any previous experiences?

 

Many thanks!

When the light is on the ABS is disabled but the brakes still work fine.

 

You need to get it plugged into VAG-Com to find out which sensor is causing problems, there about £35 each

 

There are also connections ontop of the suspension mounts (under the bonnet) you could check.
