ABS light at high speeds

[fearless]

Hi all,

right, the abs light keeps coming on when at high speeds (circa 90 odd jelly beans). car is an 03 1.2 16v. goes away again if turned off then on again.

works fine when it hasn't set itself off. only thing i can think of is the front tyres are nearly spent and the rears are almost spankers.

could the minimal diameter difference send the abs abit nuts at high speed?

any suggestions welcome!

cheers guys!

doubt it. My abs unit is totally Kaput! the abs light, handbrake light, stop and service light are all stuck on. Could be the sign of a developing problem with one of the sensors or something. just hope it doesn't end up like mine. NOT CHEAP TO FIX!

Checked your brake fluid level and your front pads lately?

 

[fearless]

pads are fine, had them out the other day to paint calipers. fluid also fine.

Loose ABS ring, that only starts to slip at high speed?

 

[BRUN]

id go with the above too, check your ABS ring isnt cracked or loose

 

[fearless]

okay, drivers front ring has a crack in it and can be moved on the shaft by hand!

so can you buy new ones and fit or do i need a new shaft?

cheers

I took a long tight bend the other day and the STOP and handbrake light came on 1/2 way round and then went off when I straightend up.... any ideas?!

i had same problem the other day. i had to buy a new shaft. Not sure if my leg was being pulled or not

okay just done a quick search an the part no. 77 00 867 344 appear so be for abs rings.

can someone confirm this is the 44 tooth version as my 1.2 doesn't appear to have the 26 tooth rings.

cheers

Okay having search a little harder 77 00 867 344 is for a 26 tooth ring.
