cool - where are the sensors? are they easy to spot?

hmm thats sounds odd to me, mine sits vertical.. some times just to the left of vertical on the motorway (i guess due to good air flow)... probably need to get it checked out then, to be on the safe side

its been fine for the last 30k miles... bought it at 75k now close to 105k..... my problems with the ABS, other than that its been fine

dont know my water temp, but my oil is always higher.... water temp dial stays vertical when warmed up, goes to the right if stuck in traffic for a while... Oil runs up 100 in town and 106 on a motorway run... some time creeping higher. must say tho mine does appear to run hotter than most,

with it disconnected does the ABS light still come on?

hmmm had a little development today, i have been getting a very infrequent vibratation accompanied by a rattle noise just after firing up, only happens 1 in 100+ starts. today after fueling up i pulled out of the petrol station and this happened again. I went for the brakes and the pedal was solid and vibrating. After a couple of seconds it stopped and returned to normal (ABS light wasnt on at this point). Its been fine since, done 35 miles to get to work! I have never felt ABS being used but since the pedal was bouncing i`m guessing even though the car was moving at 10mpg (ish) without the br

o no... i have done my own servicing on the VR6 so dont take it to them... £300 quid for an ABS sensor sounds very steep too....Mines going to MJM's near the station for MOT in a few weeks, they say thwey are VW specialist so we`ll see.... hope it passes as my ABS light keep coming on, and at less than 90! i hate the labour charges you get from a dealer hourly rate is vast

CD's have never been great with me.... dont fill me with confidence and always have to order stuff... when I lived in Stoke I used Premier in Leek who were fantastic... got to know the parts people and they do a loyalty card.... But CD's are closest and can get the parts I need..... and yes, I do live in Cheltenham.... Warden Hill area, south of town... you?

fiited the plug leads, looks nice with the red ones... the old ones that came out weren`t Beru so hopefully that`ll help, put some Magnatex in too, another 10k service done thanks all...

coil pack? really dampness getting in to it (its not a dizzy engine) what are they like to replace??

Got the following from: http://www.motuk.co.uk/manual_340.htm This suggests as long as the car has ABS it must be tested and that the light MUST come on at ignition and go out when running as the owners manual states. BUGGER Info: This ABS inspection applies to all systems fitted as 'standard', and to 'optional' systems fitted. When testing vehicles that have ABS fitted the road wheels should not be allowed to rotate clear of the standing surface with the ignition on as this can cause the ABS system to indicate a fault which may require specialist equipment to rectify Missing components Where

24, 3points :-(, 4yrs NCB...£600 Fully Comp with Admiral... they were the best i could find

when i start from cold my ABS light stays on... if i run it for a few mins then switch off and fire up again it usually stays off but can come on randomly a few miles down the road.... Will this get picked up at MOT? Any ideas what it can be?

i had Bosch's to start with and replaced them with NGK's from the dealer.... i think the Bosch are better, slightly better economy in mine.... anyone know the Bosch part code?

i havent got the invoice on me but i paid about £120 for mine... the bloke in the parts dept of the dealership must have felt sorry for me as he gave a little discount (thanks CD Brammal - Cheltenham) they must have recognised me as a regular i`m trying to fix a little mis-fire i have starting from cold in the damp.... it also happened a few weeks ago in the driving rain on the motorway.... started spluttering... done the plugs so trying the leads, hope this sorts it
