mike_blackvr6 0 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Since buying the car I've had problems with the Red brake warning lamp coming on in the dash at random times, and I'm assuming the ABS warning light would be coming on too if the previous owner hadn't kindly samshed the bulb in it. Haven't got round to putting it on VAGCOM yet, but will do after the weekend when I move back up to Yorkshire.Anyway, after running the car and opening the bonnet after turning the engine off I can hear a buzzing noise coming from the ABS pump sort of area constantly for about 5 minutes... Is this normal or a sign of anything useful (i.e. pump failure etc)?Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I'll be sure to bug some of you northern members on here about it when I move back up north...

mk3anni 0 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Buzzing is thw water pump, not the ABS pumpThe flashing light could well be the brake fluid level. Check it! Link to post Share on other sites

mike_blackvr6 0 Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Handbrake switch? Also what colour is the Pad wear light? Orange or red?It's not the pad wear light, it's the brake fluid and handbrake warning light, but doesn't seem to be either causing it... I'm sure VAGCOM will be able to point me in the right direction...Cheers,Mike Link to post Share on other sites
SankysVR6 1 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 The buzzing sound is most probably the aux water pump.If your moving up to West Yorkshire your more then welcome to pop down to my place to put it on the vagcom.sanky Link to post Share on other sites
