strange one but here goes,when slowing down at around 5mph(ish) the brake pedal drops, there is a grindy noise and then like an air noise, with feedback through the brake pedal,this only happens as i come to stop anyone?

 

??

 

Sounds like your ABS kicking in to me.

 

ABS shouldnt kick in until around 26 mph. Have you spoken to Richard about it Lee?

 

yeah spoke to rich and i'm taking it to him soon,but just wondered if any one had the same sort of thing, he checked the abs sensors and all ok on the diagnostic thingy? ps may have some new wheels soon.

 

Look forward to seeing them

 

me 2.

 

What colour...... <<<runs out to make sure mine are still on >>>

 

anthracite wrx!

 

The Dogs Particulars has a set of WRX for sale.

He`s coming to the meet tonight.

 

yeah speak to him,tell him to contact me.

 

anyone had a similar problem with the brakes??

 

I get the same type of thing on mine. The feeling is exactly that of the ABS kicking in, the brake pedal doesn't drop on mine though.

Only happens when braking from very low speeds, only thing i thought of was dirt build up on the ABS sensors or something, but you say you've had them checked..

Maybe it's something to do with the signal at low speeds that makes the sensor think the wheel has stopped?

 

yeah mine only happens at low speed,went out in car with diagnostics tool plugged in and it showed no problems, it all happened after changing rear pads,also took one of back discs off to check condition,but it seemed ok so put it back on,ever since then it's been doing this!!!

 

someone mentioned an abs cog or ring or something???

 

pull the fuse on the abs to see if it cures it. If it does its prob the ABS sensor - have you changed the brake discs recently? Its easy to damage the sensor as the discs come off

 

yeah had a disc off,but diagnostic box says no error?!
