Sunflower & Golf Mk6 BMT
Wondering if anyone can help narrow this one down for me, or point to most likely cause:
Car in question: 172 Ph1.
Symptoms:
Car lunges / pulls violently to the left under heavy breaking
ABS light is on and ABS is not working. Under heavy breaking the front left wheel locks up but the right does not.
Wishbones bushes, lower ball joints and track rod end bushes are almost new and in good condition, slight play in steering rack but only very minor.
The left disc and break pads seem to be wearing quicker than the right. (The left disc has a larger wear lip than right.)
I do have two different tyres on the front temporarily but not convinced this is root cause.
Dont get any knocking noises or banging.
Under heavy breaking I can hear an ABS switch type clicking noise
Could the an ABS malfunction cause this? ie: ABS kicking in on one side but not the other?
Could it be a faulty caliper?
Break bias settings?
Anything else?
