Monkey boy strikes again - NAC

[Jim Haseltine]

Overhauled the rear brakes on my ex-wife's car this morning and then took a
look at the ABS. The complaint was that after driving the car for a short
distance (less than a mile) the ABS warning light would come on - she'd been
told that this was 'only an electrical fault, nothing to worry about'. It
didn't take me long to find what I think the real fault is. The ABS sensors
work in a similar way to those fitted to VAG vehicles but in place of the
fine teeth on the cv joint there are large square section 'teeth'. One cv
joint has 30 large teeth and the other, obviously newer joint has 48
slightly smaller ones. Couldn't believe my eyes - unless I'm way off track
and the car is designed that way, the ABS unit must be very confused.
