FD what\'s the orange light ?

[strange_days_uk]

On the left of the dash, says 4W ABS.  Assuming it means low pressure/fluid levels in the brake system ?

Had it showing for the last couple of days, gonna check in the morning.  Assume I will just need to top up the reservoir ?

hey,

It could mean theres a problem with the ABS system, maybe a wheel sensor??

nige

[strange_days_uk]

Well I had a nasty crunch at the nearside when I reversed over a kerb the other day, funny the problem has occured since then.

Where does the sensor sit ??

[Nitronige]

The sensor sits behind the brake disc and picks up a notched ring (dont know the proper name is) on the driveshaft i think.

if your abs sensor is faulty, youll usually notice a ight clicking like a valve opening (followed by a pssh noise) and the pedal will kick back at you slightly...

does the car have 4 wheel ABS?

[Joeh]

The abs sensor wire had melted against the hotside of the turbo, have insulated it and tied it out of the way.  All fine now..
