#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

#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.
