robadobadob 0 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Morning.Got a strange fault with my VR6 track car. Its been parked up for a month or so but has been pressed in to service due to the wifes truck going in for repair. Ive now done 200 miles or so and have noticed that the ABS is cutting in as I bring the car to a halt. The cars not locking a wheel until it cuts in but just as the car comes to a halt with the brake pedal lightly pressed.It can also do this when I coast slowly to a halt without touching the brake pedal at all!!!No warning lights at all.Seems its chattering the N/side front wheel.Sensor maybe? Any ideas??? Link to post Share on other sites
VIW28 29 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 If it's a track car especially, pull the abs out if it and fit a bias valve! ABS and mk3's have a bad relationship lol Link to post Share on other sites
robadobadob 0 Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Is that not an MOT fail though? Link to post Share on other sites
VIW28 29 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Depends on your tester I suppose. Over here in NI it could go either way but I asked last time I was in and they said as long as everything was removed it wouldn't be a problem. So it's not just a track car then?

robadobadob 0 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Nope, not just a track car, its MOT'd and taxed just with no interior, coilovers, stainless exhaust and decat but essentially its standard. On closer inspection it seems the nearside front wheel is activating the ABS so have ordered a new sensor to see if that makes a difference.ABS warning light isnt on though.

daxmatt 0 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Had same problem on mine it was one of the rear abs sensors 16 quid of eBay job done, mine was on my passat vr6 you can check the sensors by unplugging the sensor from the loom ( both sides of mine were accessible by lifting the rear seat) and using a multimeter to check the continuity of the sensor no continuity means dead sensor Link to post Share on other sites
