ABS brakes question

aids333 · 09-29-2006, 08:29 AM

Hey guys, I dont think its going to be as easy as this, but I have a 2000 1.8t avant and the abs light is on and the parking brake light blinks when p-brake is down. Does anyone know about this issue, or what I can do to resolve it?

You may need new pads and the ABS sensors cleaned or if you just had them changed then it may just need the sensors cleaned as brake dust can get on them.

Hey thanks for responding, I did recently change my pads, but where would I find the abs sensors, and what do they look like?

You will see two set of wires running down the the main leg, one is for the pads the other will lead to the ABS sensor I think on your car it should just pull out.

I have the same problem but have just cleaned the sensors on the front .Does the back have sensors as well.

Sorry I have just checked it does 'nt have back sensors does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong .Could it be the fact that it needs new rotors.
