ABS & ESP Lights coming on but no fault codes

(1/1)

mrzed:
Should that be happening?
I've researched on here so i kinda know what the fault might be but without any codes i can't determine which wheel is at fault...
The lights aren't on permanent and only occasionally, the only common feature is when they do come on it's after about 5 minutes driving.
So...ABS sensor or the ring on the bearing?...i just don't know which one.
I don't have VCDS, just a generic code reader but it's served me well over the years.
Thanks in advance
Chris

Trekmeister:
You really do need vcds in order to determine exactly the problem. The ring bearing went on mine and the esp light etc came on after about  5/10 mins of driving

DDM:
i'll plug it in for you bud if your not to far away.

Thanks mate i'm in Scarborough....and i've yet to find anyone here with VCDS  :ashamed:

Just to tie this up, borrowed another scanner and got the rear right ABS Sensor code (mechanical) so it's obviously the bearing bit that needs replacing :happy2:
