ABS coming randomly at low speeds

[g10chy]

Hey,

My ABS starts pumping when i am moving very slowly and braking e.g. stopping for a junction or parking my car up.

This has started recently, any sugesstions on whats wrong? ABS sensor? Dirt in the brakes?

Cheers,
Chris

Does the ABS actually get activated or is it just a ticking noise under the brake pedal?

If it's the latter I have the same issue but not sure what's causing it.

My ABS is actually activated. Get the horrible feeling of the brake pedal being pumped

Have a look behind the wheels, sounds like a cracked ABS ring

similar happened to me

Cheers 24Seven.

Your post sounds exactly the same as mine. I have had both driveshafts recently replaced so abit concerned that my driverss side ABS ring could have gone so soon (that the wheel that is juddering).

Could be ABS sensor too or brake pedal switch I suppose if you had new ABS rings recently.

I will have a look at the condition of the rings over the weekend and compare them to your pictures (cant see them on the work PC). I mite give the brakes a complete good clean as there is alot of grease from when the CV boots split that needs cleaning up still.

 

[24Seven]

Well that sounds like mine. Drivers side CV boot split, leaked crap all over the rings/sensor and to top it off one was cracked so could be similar. At least they arent too expensive

 

[g10chy]

How much are the rings? Are they easy to fit?

 

[Millsy]

not too bad, but need to be fitted by a garage as the old ring has to be taken off then the new one heated and put in place so it cools and sets tight.

dont be fooled by a garage into saying you need a new driveshaft as you can get the rings no problem!!

1st, check that the cv boot clip hasnt come off.

i had one the other day doing the same and it was some teeth missing off the ABS ring on the driveshaft so try checking that.
