[s-cars] ABS Off Light Problem

[qshipq at aol.com]

 There are no 'ablative' caps on the S car sensors, those are only found on the older cars with the allen set screw type sensor mounting bracket.? The S cars use a copper basket insert into the hub that is designed to stop the sensor at the proper position.? That said, if forced they can be pushed too close, or if the basket is not lubed properly, not pushed in far enough.? Vag-com can identify the problem, or you can take a multimeter and ck the resistance of the sensors stationary (use the rears as the guideline for 'normal'), then lift a wheel at a time and spin at approx 1 rev per second, and ck the values again.? I too suspect you have one of the two fronts out of adjustment.? You can adjust them without pulling the wheel off the car.

Brian,

I am in Annapolis.

Ablative caps are put on the end of the wheel sensors to allow just enough 
clearance for
the sensor to work properly without being damaged.  Does sound like the sensor 
may not
have been installed properly.

Brett,

The light came on after I had the 034 brake kit installed by a local mechanic.  
The
guy's work was sloppy as hell, love the brakes though!

I don't know what ablative caps are, so I can't answer that one.  Anyone in MD, 
DC, DE,
VA with a VAG-COM?

Thanks,

Brian
