A6 2,6LQ 95 - ABS mystery

cityshark · 02-19-2007, 02:55 AM

Hi.

This weekend i was replacing my frontal shock absorbents and the spring bearings - so both McPersons were dismounted off the car and then mounted back in. The car works fine withe everyhing but I'm experienced a little problem with ABS then...

The ABS starts to act when I drive at very little speeds (less 10km/h) and i brake very softly (like parking etc). I got good tires and the road is dry. So no need to see the ABS acting at all.
When I "jump on the brake" at any speed, the ABS works correctly - it starts to act only if my wheels got blocked.

Still the car brakes fine as it always was. Just that mysterious problem at tiny speed and soft braking.

Any ideas?

I would tend to think the ABS wheel sensor is a little off kilter.

You are correct. Latly I dismounted the sensor, cleaned in gasoline and the mystery was solved. Hope this will help someone in future...
