My brakes are in good condition. It came up , and after turning the car off , disappeared.
Which things should I be looking at?
Sensor? Pump?
Thanks

 

Up

 

ABS Sensor most likely. Common failure on these. I recently bought a Creator C110 BMW/MINI scan tool on eBay for $60 USD. It will give you the codes for the ABS. Although the codes didn't help me when I got my ABS light, it showed numerous codes.

What did help was the live data function of the ABS sensors. I could watch the speed readouts of each sensor as I drove. I discovered my right front sensor speed would drop to near 0 every few seconds. I replaced that sensor with a genuine VDO/Siemens sensor and that fixed it.

 

Can you give me a link to a good quality sensor (eBay preferably)
How difficult it is to replace ?
DIY photos or video that helped you ?
Does it mean that there is a problem with abs system?

 

ECS has a few, brand MTC $30, brand VDO $77, and brand GenuineMINI $107.

Warning: I'm not sure I picked your correct model year when choosing catalog search -be sure to double check.

You said eBay preferred, I don't know any vendors, except PrestigeMINI, but they didn't show it on their page.



ps. I had a lot of VDO stuff on my VW years ago, good quality IMO.

 

I owned a R53 for awhile until i got my R56, my ABS light came up when i first got my R53 and i wasnt sure what it was i replaced all the brakes and the light was still there... the sensors are what made the light stay one which i had to order online but once they came in the light went off.

 

I bought from this eBay vendor. http://myworld.ebay.com/partscontain...E:L:OC:US:1181 Seller "partscontainer" if that link doesn't work.

Lowest price on a Siemens/VDO I could find. Don't know about shipping to Israel though. I started with a cheapo, generic eBay one. It didn't work, don't even bother!!!
