mrmadcats Posted December 21, 2009 Report Posted December 21, 2009 When I put the brakes on hard in the icy cold yesterday, the ABS light came on and stayed on. What might be happening here? The brakes seem to function OK. Quote
dlivadas Posted December 21, 2009 Report Posted December 21, 2009 I've seen that before when a ABS sensor failed on mine. had to have it replaced since they won't pass the MOT with it on. Quote
Belldarr Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 Yes sounds like a sensor - they are about Quote
big_kev Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 If you use Vagcom ( or similar ) it will tell you which sensor has a problem. It may not be the sensor itself it could be the ring on the driveshaft which is either broken, correded or just covered in carp ! The normal braking system is seperate from the ABS and will still function perfectly ( some may say better :unsure: ) without it, especially in icy weather......my personal opinion....bloody hate ABS. However as mentioned it is an MOT failure if your light is on......and hence no ABS. Quote
