Morning Folks
I have an advisery for the MOT for rear wheel bearing,but whenever I try to source them I'm asked " Has it got ABS" to be honest I don't know, I hope one of you will be able to tell me what to look for.
I have a 1997 1.9td saloon.
You should have a light for it come up on the dash when you first turn the key, it should be fairly easy to spot under the bonnet too - it's the square thing with pipes coming out of it in the bottom rh corner of this pic:
I'd resist forcing your ABS to work - in case you break it
I know of someone with a Honda who thought they'd "check the ABS" and £1,200.00 later it was all fixed nice again
Mind you Honda's ABS was crap a few years ago (got the T shirt) most people removed it all at the first sign of trouble which you're allowed to do if it was an "optional extra" at the time of sale.
To be fair the Pug system never gives us any issues here.
Cars in my care:
2021 Kia Spottage 1.6 Pez Turbo Dual Clutch Gearbox Trickery
2013 Renner Twingo - donkey work
One of the first things I do when getting in an unknown car is test the ABS by stamping on the brakes. Don't care where or what condition the road's in as long as there's nobody behind me. Best to know whether to steer, or steer and brake before you're about to collide with some idiot in the wet...
Plus you don't want to be buying a car with knackered ABS without a *considerable* discount. Give the seller advance warning to brace though
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
You'll soon know if it has ABS
