Weird noise from front brakes

[The Big Yin]

Front discs and pads have recently been changed but this noise was there before

It is intermitant and sounds a bit like the abs is kicking in when it should not be doing so kinda like a pulsing creaking sound if that makes sense lol

Its hard to describe the noise but it comes and goes Is the ABS sensor fubard any suggestions ?

yeh abs sensor is most likeely cause of the problem.

 

[The Big Yin]

They are broke'd.

Nah they work perfectly fine even with the noise

yeh abs sensor is most likeely cause of the problem.

DIY job ? Where is it located ?(runs off to check prices lol)

price is around £60 from renault and yeh they are easy to replace. you cant miss it. there are only 2 wires. one is teh brake line the other is the abs sensor which is obviously thiner. i may have a spare abs sensor in the garage that i bought by mistake.

 

[The Big Yin]

cool let me know how much you want for it

Any guides on fitting floating around

My car has developed something similar over the last week. When braking to a stop from a very low speed there is a clicking sort of sound being made.

mine has the exact same noise but it makes it just after i set off and it now makes the abs kick in every so often best change the sensor then

Mine has always made a clicking sound when I come to a stop but the ABS still works fine

Poss a chipped tooth on the abs counter ring or a burst cv boot putting grease onto the abs ring/sensor. both worth checking.

My cv boot popped off a while ago spreading green grease everywhere, think i may have to clean the rings off.

I would go with Daves diagnosis here. I know its not the case for you Martin but Ive also had abs noises when running different tyres sizes front and rear on a coupe. Think it confuses it!

the abs ring sits behind the disc on the end of the driveshafts. cat miss it as it is toothed.

 

[The Big Yin]

I know theres no burst cv boot as i would have noticed when changing discs ill check out abs ring - is it an easy fix or a garage job ?

Cheers all

If the ring looks ok then it could just be the sensor
