Intermittent ABS fault?
« on: June 08, 2014, 08:51:56 pm »
Hi guys! I have an intermittent fault that I guess is ABS related? Three orange warning lights on the dash.
 Dirty sensors maybe?
The fault could never appear for ages and then will appear every journey for a few days or every other day.
Is there a simple way to stop this from popping up again?


Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

Rob

You know this already but you need to get the car scanned.
Without traction power is nothing!

Just thought as it was intermittent there might be something loose or needs checking or cleaning.
Something I can check myself first without costing me

Mines just done this at 90k.

Rear wheel bearing gone, apparently not an unusual fault?
Whel location was id by scan.

Checked to see if any member with a vcds cable is located in your area and willing to help?
