ABS light on after braking hard.... On way home from
« on: 06 February 2005, 16:54 »
Yesterday i fitted a Blue Neon dust cap set, looks the business, but today after braking hard for some twit who pulled in front of my chavalier  my ABS light came on i hope its just a sensor not able to see very much when looking underneath but the car seemed to brake well "no locking up or skidding" when i tested it on the rest of the way home.

Have had a look at the ABS pump it felt quite hot would this be normal?

Anyways gonna find a straight road in the morning an do a brake test again then im rag off the wheels and check the sensors to see if thet are just dirty,i hope to fook its not the pump as i will be one stella less  as well as a rather chavved count. :cry: :sad:

Uh! that sounds weird even for you Count!

But seriously - if ABS light is on indicating the system is not working, then why lock up a rear? First to lock is always a front, coz they are more powerful than the rears!
Sounds like a symptom of a more radical problem to me.

And yes if the pump is warm then its working!

Oh dear :angry:

Always liked the idea of ABS as the brakes on my MK2 are poor(ish) but as usaul they're just another thing to go wrong and hit you in the pocket :tongue:

Only cheap answer I can think of is to take out the ABS warning light bulb and sell it on. :wink:

Seriously though best get it in and have it checked. Best play it safe with brakes.

Can't beleive that forum members on here [this isnt just a rant at you piggy] advocate taking the bulb out and selling the car , then sympathyse with the poor b****r who buys one without the bulb in .

If you sell a GTI then by the laws of averages that person may well become a new member of this site.

If its broke get it fixed , next time it might be you that gets stung like this.
