Damo 85 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Bit of a wierd one... A few weeks ago my ABS light came on after a drive to halifax and back. nothing spirited just a 65-70 chilled motorway drive... I was planning to get it checked at my next visit to my local garage, but it then turned itself off... now i thought maybe an intermittent sensor problem... but in my disbelief that it had gone off, i tapped the little panel where the airbag light and abs lights are and it came back on! At first i though it was a coincidence but its gone off each day for 3 days now and it only comes on if i tap the dashboard! Is it possible there is some faulty connection directly behing the warning light?? Oh just to add, the brakes seem to be working just fine even with/without this warning light on....... im baffled Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Brakes will be fine without ABS just wont help as ABS should. Get it on VAGCOM anyway. Could be a dodgy wire thats stopping it come on, pop the bit out and check the wires Link to post Share on other sites

SankysVR6 1 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Try checking the filament in the bulb, as it might not be making contact all the time. Hence when you bang its coming on. Link to post Share on other sites
