ABS Light on, ABS Light off, braking issues
« on: 07 June 2012, 20:04 »
Hi All,

Got a standard mk4 1.6 and the other day grounded it slightly on a grass verge, i dont mean at speed less than 1mph. it was not grounded both ways just reversed it off.The verge looked fine but longrass  diguised the bumps etc. Silly me hey!.

Every since then I have seemed  to have developed an abs issue, or maybe its just a coincidence, one moment the light on is next time after car has been driven goes off, could I have possibly damaged soemthing or could the sensors be shot? Tonite car brakes seemed ok when stopping in a straight line, but when braking to a stop whilst cornering brake pedal judders and a whining noise is heard. I have yet to fault code it, but could I have damaged the ABS system somehow?

Any pointers would be welcomed!

check the 30 amp fuse on top off the battery under bonnet. can get slightly mucky contact and causes the light to go on and off. also u will help yourself no end by scanning it 2 see what faults
