Question pumy 1.7 abs/traction control lights?

Hello

I know some of you on here have puma 1.7's.

The dash light for the abs and the traction light have come on but go off sometimes.

Im thinking a faulty sensor?

anyone experienced this? is it dangerous as its the wifes car.

cheers

Look for a wheel sensor coated in mud first of all. Isn't dangerous if she allows for it and is aware the ABS will not work, but commonsense would suggest repair asap.

When the ABS isn't working on a puma I found that it can be quite dangerous because it locks the rears up first and goes sideways down the road This can be fun if you expect it but I wouldn't want to get caught out by it.

that must be why she says the pedal makes a noise sometimes, must be the abs doing funny things..
