front brake / fault
« on: 02 July 2014, 08:28 »
I have a 2008 ED30 sometimes when cornering its as if you have dabbed the brakes on but i am not doing it, there is also sometimes a weird noise as it happens that appears to be from drivers front wheel.It only seems to happen on left hand bends and sometimes ESP light flickers on, happens when going slowly as well as faster. I have had it at local VW garage but nothing showed up. Any ideas welcome, cheers.

Faulty abs sensor or damaged sensor wiring.
Without traction power is nothing!

See how that isn't on dead straight, just slightly out?

This one would do it on a tiny bend at 60 MPH.

ABS ring or sensor not in place properly.

Where all my moneys went.
