psilosimon 8 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 The VR has started with an intermittent weirdness with the ABS. Braking works fine under 99% of braking conditions, but now and then grinds to a halt with a graunchy noise when braking softly, especially under right hand full lock - say turning into a carpark or summat.I can't see owt obviously loose or worn.any ideas?

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Brake shield hitting the disk?Might be worth scanning with vag com for any sensor faults too, I had a dodgy once and it used to make my drivers wheel lock up going around left hand bends Link to post Share on other sites
psilosimon 8 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 At first I thought it was a brake problem, like I said - right hand lock over slight bump - thought maybe an airbubble in the flexy. but now I'm thinking it could be the abs or traction control, sometimes it does it without using the brakes, and sometimes if you gun it when roads are wet its like the traction control slips slightly.The ABS light comes on at start up and goes out as normal.

I had an issue on my old mk3 where going around right hand corners would cause the ABS to kick in. Maybe vag-com may shed some light which one is playing up ?
