Does the light come on as soon as you start your car or after you have it
rolling.  If it is after you have it rolling you have a bad wheel sensor, if
it is before you start rolling your ABS relay is either bad or not getting a
good ground...I had this problem awhile back and had to splice into the
harness to give it a good ground.  Let me know if you need anymore help
tracking this down as I just did it recently.

Stock answer!  No such thing, a practial min spec, IMO.  The cooling slots
wern't showing thru the active rotor area were they, like with slotted
rotors?

Yo Bernie:
I'm not with you on this thread.  If you aren't there with a set of
calipers,
"designed to sell a rotor" is an easy statement.  IME, if they are below min
spec, a good shop SHOULD be selling you a set of rotors.  "Practical" min
spec, refers to a customer that doesn't want to buy new rotors now.  IME2, a
good auto/machine shop shouldn't be cutting rotors that are below min spec.
So, by the looks of things, this guy's shop is willing to put a new set of
pads on rotors out of spec.  That's quite reasonable, and discounts your
"sell" argument.

Your advice is free, but I'm thinking Anton got most reasonable service
here.
 Anton, keep a sharp eye out for stress cracking, new pads on rotors below
min spec could very well mean your rotors will fail before your next pad
change.

 Not reman, We have them turned. There are a large concentration of Machine
shops locally due to all the shipyards, all of them I've checked with have
the tooling to do internal cutting. The tooling is actually quite common.
The
cheapest price for turning a UFO rotor is $65 each.

 Anyone around a seaport should be able to find a local machine shop to do
it
for about the same price. Seattle, San Fran, Long Beach, San Diego,
Charleston

Thanks Scott and everyone else. What I'm doing (my kids ride in this car) is
looking for a lower price for the rotors myself, i.e. Rod at The Parts
Connection. I'll have them shipped to the shop and put on the car.
 This is an old car with many things that have worn out that I am having
repaired or replaced. It didn't surprise me when they said the rotors were
below min spec. It was the price that blew my mine cause 3 weeks ago the
same shop said they can get reman UFOs for like $150. Suddenly that cost had
more then doubled.
 Thanks again,
Anton

Good point Bernie.
Anton,
Please have them save your old rotors if you have them change them. I'll
take 'em off yer hands :-)

Same thing here - just had the LM done and radio sounds much better. I
didn't think it sounded that bad before.

Another thing - mine is in the shop now to get a minor ding fixed on the
rear 1/4 panel. They pulled the trim piece of the back as part of the repair
and found some rust under it. Speculation is dissimilar metals is the cause.
Might be something to check for.

I think ever since I gave a fellow audi guy a jump to start his car, my dash
ABS light has been on.

The switch doesnt effect it.
There is no fuse under the hood for it.

Is there a fuse under the knee thing for this?
