DCI100 / 211hp MK1
Please help im at my wits end!
Can anyone please advise on the following.
About 6 weeks ago I replaced my rear discs on my clio 1.5 dci 100 with Mintex (MDC1997) off ebay £40 inc bearing and abs rings! I replaced them as I had a noisy wheel bearing that hummed, although it did not have any play in it.
Happy days fitted them and all was fine until I went over 50 mph. ABS light comes on, brakes dont feel nowhere near as good as they did before I fitted the new discs, I get pedal biting on and off and the abs kicks in too early.
I have inspected all sensors and abs rings and they are all fine. (have not checked the gaps between abs ring and sensor does anyone know the value).
The only difference is the amount of gaps on the abs ring of the new disc is 48 and on my old discs is 44. I am 99% sure that this would cause the error. I have plugged it into my mates diagnostic tool it shows interference and does not specifically say a sensor.
I have rung the company that sold me the discs and they are sure they are correct for the car, they have spoken with Mintex who are blaming an abs sensor but I find it far too much of a coincidence that the fault appears after I replace the discs.
Do you agree with me and my local Renault technician who said the same that this could be the fault. I don’t want to shell out any money until I am sure of it.
If it is then does anyone have any rear abs rings that have 44 ‘gaps’?
Thanks in advance,
Dan
