Title: Intermittent ABS fault?
Post by: RobboGTI on June 08, 2014, 08:51:56 pm: Hi guys! I have an intermittent fault that I guess is ABS related? Three orange warning lights on the dash.
Dirty sensors maybe?
The fault could never appear for ages and then will appear every journey for a few days or every other day.
Is there a simple way to stop this from popping up again?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

Rob

Something I can check myself first without costing me

Checked to see if any member with a vcds cable is located in your area and willing to help?
