#3: Re: ABS Fault Author: Debz, Location: Cardiff, South WalesPosted: Fri May 18, 2012 12:23 pm ---- Turned it off and on again, but still on, will have to look on weekend, but dunno what to start with, there are a few things it could be??
#4: Re: ABS Fault Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Fri May 18, 2012 12:36 pm ---- it could be the sensors have gone, other than that i'm a bit stumped as to what it could be tbh Debz
#5: Re: ABS Fault Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Fri May 18, 2012 12:37 pm ---- Could be a faulty sensor?? if its staying on all the time get someone to plug a diagnostic reader and it should tell you what's up.
#7: Re: ABS Fault Author: sulli, Location: SheffieldPosted: Fri May 18, 2012 4:17 pm ---- possible corrided abs rings? check rings and sensors or get it plugged in.
#8: Re: ABS Fault Author: A18NHH, Location: MiddlesbroughPosted: Sat May 19, 2012 3:47 am ---- could be sensor or ABS ring has a crack in it (thats what happened to mine)
#9: Re: ABS Fault Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Sat May 19, 2012 4:33 am ---- That is what happened to our old CC. ABS fault light popped on and off.
Was a cracked ring in the end.
#10: Re: ABS Fault Author: Debz, Location: Cardiff, South WalesPosted: Wed May 23, 2012 12:17 am ---- guys since i posted this it has only come on twice so probably just needs a clean or is loose. Im tight and dont wanna buy a haynes manual or anything lol, so can someone give me a rough idea of how i get to them and clean them etc??? xx

Just check there's nothing metal contacting the sensor. My abs light came on when the cv joint clip came loose and that caused the light to come on.

It sounded like the wipers were stuck at first, could this be connected or a different problem? x
#13: Re: ABS Fault Author: 206gti_chris, Location: SussexPosted: Tue Jan 01, 2013 12:46 pm ---- i got this problem as well, turns on and off every few days lol
#14: Re: ABS Fault Author: pug206lx, Location: Taking a gearbox off somewherePosted: Tue Jan 01, 2013 2:40 pm ---- Could be dirty/corroded/cracked rings, could be sensors... Don't get wet carpets do you? I had this problem in my 406 and it turned out water had gathered in the sound deadening below the carpet and had slightly corroded the plugs in the footwell. After taking them apart, drying and cleaning them the problem went away.
