Timah89 1 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 my ABS keeps playing up like crazy, 1 year ago the offside front sensor stopped working, had it replaced and worked perfectly after that untill recently, coincidentally just after this years MOT. The light comes on occasionally, i have put it through VAGCOM and it is now showing a faulty offside front sensor, the one that was changed!! the weird thing is that most the time the light is off (the bulb does work as it lights when starting the car) but whilst driving the ABS seems to kick in, a horrible grinding noise occurs and the brakes pretty much dont work (scary). Is this more than possibly just a sender and maybe a fauly ABS pump or something?? Link to post Share on other sites

Rikki 2 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Could be the ecu...looks like your obd2 from your sig so very common.....was the sensor genuine....could have gone bad again? they arte magnets so try cleaning them first, There is a way of testings them manually without vagcom i believe!

Timah89 1 Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 yeah it is OBD2. sensor was a genuine VAD part as far as i know. i've gotta change the break pads ASAP so will see if anythign changes then, if not will no doubt take it to the garage that changed the sensor a year ago! How would the ECU effect the ABS? Link to post Share on other sites
