ABS light on

Post by Donnydave »

Hi I am new to the forum and VW,s but I am quite impressed by this little engine, but I have a problem I would like some help with please?
I have run this 1.0 Polo for nearly 12 months now it as got 169000 miles on the clock and is coming up for this years MOT. it as run reliably since I put it through the MOT last year it cost me £375 for something to do with the front steering arms and a new tyre. But now the ABS light is on and it as gone hard when braking just three times over the last month, but usually its fine and feels normal, but there is a bit of knocking when on full turn.?

You may have a faulty ABS controller. Its very common on these. There is a fix as per the DIY section on the forum which you may wish to look into

I would get it scanned first and find the fault codes and go from there
