Brake woes.

[8690q]

Evening all,

Not S2 related but it is emerald green and an Audi

I was driving home from work tonight and the car (80 2.0e avant) was pulling big time to the left every time I braked.
I assumed I had a seized caliper on the o\side so when I got home I jacked the car up and stripped the caliper off only to find that every thing moves freely.
I set up a bit of wood to press the pedal for me while I cracked the bleed nipple.
Nothing.
I split the flexi from the brake pipe.
Nothing.
I followed the brake pipe back to the ABS unit and cracked the union there.
Still nothing.
I know I have pressure at the rest of the brake lines as I checked them while I was at it. This also lets me know I have power from the master cylinder.

Does it sound like my ABS unit is duff ?

Can they be fixed ?

Thanks

Michael

sounds strange - did you get any fluid from the master cylinder for that part of the circuit?
try bleed the brakes really well, perhaps there is some debris or something in the lines. You can disable the ABS by removing the two relays under the top cover,see if that helps.

Thanks for the help,

I fitted an ABS unit from the scrappies today and it's sorted it.
