  • ABS Noise - 3B Engine

    Another ABS fault. This time when driving there is a hissing/whooshing noise coming from the ABS pump area. When braking, the car squirms and you can feel the ABS through the brake pedal. Sometimes when you come to a stop you hear a 'boing' type noise.

    Previously the ABS light came on after 25mph or thereabouts. I've cleaned all the sensors and the teeth and the abs light has gone away. Car drives fine without the strange noise and brakes normal when ABS is switched off.

    The 'boing' noise you're hearing is the hydrocoptic marzlevanes aligning themsleves with the lunar waneshaft to prevent side fumbling, all perfectly normal

        I've had a reply on this off another site and they have suggested that the air gap may not be correct. I thought that if it wasn't, then the sensor would not read and the ABS light would be on?

          Gap was wrong on mine and the abs light came on. No strange noises or pedal feeling.
          Sounds to me like it might be the regulator or the abs pump itself.

              A faulty, dirty or badly adjusted sensor can definitely make the abs pump cut in as you come to a stop. Classic symptom.

                I backed all of the sensors off today and the noise stopped. Just need to find the sweet spot now.

                  So what is the sweet spot? I've made lots of adjustments and at certain speeds when braking, the ABS kicks in.

                    BTTT - a nice day for messing about with an S2. Any advice is appreciated.

                      Any update?

                      Normally you just push the sensor in until it bottons, do you have the rubber boots fitted because they can change the amount they go in.

                        I have new sensor caps which I will be fitting tomorrow afternoon. Fingers crossed.

                        Are the sensors still available new?

                          Not sure, but I think there might be a Land Rover sensor that works.

                            New abs caps sorted this and re-set the air gap by using the sacrificial plastic splines.

                            Fit the new caps, push the sensors in and tighten the bolt. Job done. :-)

                            Can't believe how much time I spent ******* about when all I had to do was buy new sensor caps.
