Barry Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 I had the warning light quickly come on when I hit the brakes a bit sharpish last night. Is that telling me the ABS came on or is there something else I need to check? I just darted out to overtake some old fart, was going to go for the car infront of him too but decided against as a corner was coming up, so I braked fairly hard and pulled in behind, thats when the light came on then went off almost straight away. Brake fluid it up to its max marker as I thought it may be that!? Any ideas??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin F Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 It's usually brake fluid, sure its well up to max ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted June 11, 2002 Author Share Posted June 11, 2002 Yep, its the first thing I thought of and I checked soon as I got home. Its almost full. I'll give the connector a clean and go and find someone to race.!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 The brake fluid resevoir lies.....put some extra brake fluid in anyway. I had the same problem ages ago, always did it after a mad accleration and then a sudden deceleration. The fluid looked like it was at the max but it still did it and only stopped when I put new fluid in. Its also a sign that your brake pads are getting low cos the fluid level is dropping.

Barry Posted June 11, 2002 Author Share Posted June 11, 2002 Ok, I'll stick some more in anyway. Whats the best stuff to use (DOT)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
