#1: ABS kicking in Author: SDK206, Location: Earth, most of the time!!Posted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 3:02 pm ---- Has anybody noticed on any 206 with ABS, it kick in under light braking just as the car is nearly stationary?? it literally kicks the pedal twice and then stops!!
mine has done this a couple of times in different conditions both dry and wet and at different points on journeys, but not all the time
binding rear drum maybe??

Thanks

Never had that one yet.
I can emergency brake assist the car to a stop without the abs cutting in at all
#5: Re: ABS kicking in Author: SDK206, Location: Earth, most of the time!!Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 3:39 pm ---- ha ha, ive jumped on my pedal too and it doesn't do it when i try to force it but mine doesn't have EBA
It is so quick just as the car is coming to rest its stupid why its happening but i'll check my driveshafts for broken pickup rings
#6: Re: ABS kicking in Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 4:17 pm ---- Mine had a cracked ring on the shaft and at 100mph+ the ABS light would come on and and occasionally when parking it would trigger the ABS.
So up the ramps the car went and this is what I found.
#7: Re: ABS kicking in Author: mdstone, Location: South WalesPosted: Thu Mar 03, 2011 7:49 am ---- Edward - did your ABS light go out after that as mine did not, even though I got a new ring.
#8: Re: ABS kicking in Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Mar 03, 2011 12:59 pm ---- After a restart the light would always go off.
#9: Re: ABS kicking in Author: mdstone, Location: South WalesPosted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 9:18 am ---- Maybe my sensor is naffed then, as my fault still comes up but the car is running fine now with a new CV Joint / ABS Ring. The initial problem I had was speedometer intermittently showing incorrect readings and the brakes went a bit d***ky like I was braking on snow.
#10: Re: ABS kicking in Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 10:40 am ---- Does that mean yours is one of the cars that have the speedo operated by an ABS sensor? They don't all work like that.
#11: Re: ABS kicking in Author: mdstone, Location: South WalesPosted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 12:06 pm ---- What year/model is yours? - 2003 Gti
#12: Re: ABS kicking in Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 12:38 pm ---- Mines an early 2001. Your is multiplexed so will be different.
#13: Re: ABS kicking in Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Sun Mar 20, 2011 4:37 pm ---- Can you buy replacement driveshaft rings then Paul? As I've got the same problem now!
#14: Re: ABS kicking in Author: mdstone, Location: South WalesPosted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 6:40 am ---- G. Seen some on Ebay for about £10 recently. I opted for a new CV Joint instead (where the ring is attached) for about £20-£25.
This ring may fit depending on your model/year ABS Ring
#15: Re: ABS kicking in Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 9:16 am ---- Thanks mdstone, thats a big help
#16: Re: ABS kicking in Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 2:41 pm ---- Right there's not a lot of info on the DV6 - would I be right in saying it will use the same driveshafts as the GTi 138? Checked Service Box but it doesn't state the diameter of the ABS ring.
#17: Re: ABS kicking in Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 4:00 pm ---- Could you measure the driveshaft diameter? ? ?
#18: Re: ABS kicking in Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 4:12 pm ---- I could aye but it's a bit dark for that now! whats your thoughts then Lee, I assume you got my PM?
#19: Re: ABS kicking in Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 4:16 pm ---- I did & I reckon its gonna be the same drivetrain with different gear ratios as the GTI apart from the FAPTASTIC peice of French engineering under the bonnet powering it all
#20: Re: ABS kicking in Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 4:18 pm ---- Cheers mate! Just wanted to check someone like yourself was thinking along the same lines as I was. Will order up a couple of replacements shortly
#21: Re: ABS kicking in Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 4:21 pm ---- Soon find out
#22: Re: ABS kicking in Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 4:28 pm ---- Yes it's all the same transmission bits on the smelly diesel...
#23: Re: ABS kicking in Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 4:29 pm ---- Cheers Paul
#24: Re: ABS kicking in Author: mdstone, Location: South WalesPosted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 5:12 pm ---- G. you never said if your ABS fault warning came up on your car? Mine has noe finally gone but comes back every couple of days. I think a new sensor is likely for me.
#25: Re: ABS kicking in Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 5:15 pm ---- Aye it flags up, comes om over 80 and stays until you stop and restart the car then it clears.

Check to see if one of the tyre pressures is significantly lower than the others which would affect the rolling diameter of the individual wheel and trigger an abs fault, similarly, if one of the tyres is worn more than the others.

Not checked the pressures in a while, will give that a shot and then order up new sensors if no joy.

Interesting, my O/S/F is worn more and ABS light comes on now and again. Also the ABS has kicked in when pulling away from low speed. Not often though.
#29: Re: ABS kicking in Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Sat Mar 26, 2011 5:33 pm ---- Cracked ABS ring on the passenger driveshaft - replacement for both side on order!
#30: Re: ABS kicking in Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Sun Mar 27, 2011 3:15 am ---- Anyone got a 'how-to' on reolacing the ABS rings?
#31: Re: ABS kicking in Author: Big_Rich180, Posted: Sun Mar 27, 2011 3:23 am ---- IF its any help,
I had many problems with the ABS on the 180, I had a few ABS rings and sensors replaced, but the problem turned out to be some wiring under the car that had broke and that was causing the ABS to flick on and off....mostly off.

Cheers Rich, but had a look and the ring is cracked on the passenger driveshaft.
#33: Re: ABS kicking in Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Sat Apr 02, 2011 12:33 pm ---- Crawled under the car during the week and seen the passenger side ring had cracked. Replaced this today, after a bit of a fight trying to drift it onto the driveshaft...
All sorted now, will do the other side next weekend for peace of mind.
