rodney 17 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 is it an ABS vibration or a warped disc kinda vibration? The warped disc feel can come and go depending on how hard you press and how warped it is Link to post Share on other sites

manzi 0 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 is this a common thing with VR's or golf 3's? i have this problem and i get a feeling that i've got a warped disc, there was one time when i was driving up from peterborough in the wet, the abs light come on and stayed on until i restarted the car.

dwa1974 0 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 My abs light comes on now and again but always goes out again. I also had some vibration through my brakes when i first bought my car, normally braking from motorway speeds. This cleared up after a week or so. Weird and probably no help to you whatsoever. However I can fully recommend upgrading to 312mm brakes! Link to post Share on other sites
jesterwalker69 0 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I get some pretty rapid vibration feedback through the pedal if i'm breaking fairly hard but the ABS light doesnt come on. could this be due to a warped disc?How much was your 312mm upgrade and where did you get all kit for it Damian?

jesterwalker69 0 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 its more of a judder then a pumping tho Link to post Share on other sites
manzi 0 Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 it does feel like the abs kicking but the abs light doesn't come on when it does. with me its also happening everytime i use the brakes whilst turning. Link to post Share on other sites
dwa1974 0 Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Oliver, Got brake conversion from VR6rich on here. If your car is a later VR (ie 96 onwards) you just need the carriers and discs from say, a 1999 Audi TT and some different bolts. Have a look at this http://www.the-corrado.net/wiki/index.php/312mm_brakes It tells you everything you need to know. Or give me a shout and i'll try and help! There is a place in Carlisle that does the bolts you'll need by the way!! Link to post Share on other sites
H19LNE 0 Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I had the exact same symptons on my VR. Got it hooked up 2 VAG COM and showed up front right wheel speed sensor which was d ABS sensor. Got it changed all is good again. Link to post Share on other sites
