gazchill 0 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Hi,ABS light comes on for a day then goes off for a couple of days. Seems to have started after the car was valeted.Any quick fixes ? I'm still driving around in it and normal breaking seems OK. Link to post Share on other sites
SankysVR6 1 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Might have shifted some dirt around when they probably cleaned the arches. Best bet would be to get it on vagcom to find which part of the abs is faulty. If it throws a sensor fault you will have to take it out and give it a clean to see if it goes away.My rear abs sensor came on coulpe of day's after i did the discs and pads, i ended up just jet washing underneath the car near the faulty sensor and the fault cleared up. Lasted a good part of a year. Link to post Share on other sites

Eat this 2 Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 normal braking will be unnafected you just dont get abs Link to post Share on other sites
vr6madmike 0 Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Be careful tho because when mine had a intermittant ABS sensor fault sometimes the Sensor whould make the car think the wheel had locked up and apply the ABS when it wasnt needed this greatly increased my stopping distance and was very dangerous! Your better off with a light thats on permenatly with no ABS at all! Link to post Share on other sites
gazchill 0 Posted September 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 There's one on each wheelI was kind of wondering where abouts on the hub it was, and is it easy to spot, take out, clean and what to clean with.Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites
SankysVR6 1 Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Not exactly sure but if i had managed to get my rear one out in one peice i would have probably used something like WD40.The rear ones should be easy to find just look for an electric wire and follow it to the hub as there shouldn't be anything electical there.As for the front ones i will try and dig you a pic out Link to post Share on other sites
gazchill 0 Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 If my ABS fault light is off when I take it somewhere to have it hooked up to VAGCOM does it store the history of the prevous error codes or do I need to wait untill it stays on.Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
