2001 tdi jetta with ABS light and flashing brake light help plz
Hello all,
The Abs light has been on for over a year on the car. I actually don't like abs brakes so it was a plus they didn't work. Over the past 2-3 months randomly the e brake light will flash and chime 3 times when the light starts flashing. Sometimes the e brake light will be on when I 1st start the car and other times it will randomly come on after 15-20 minutes driving.
Never noticed any issues until tonight. When i braked firmly it braked good for about 3 seconds then the pedal rumbled like the abs was on for a split second then the pedal goes towards the floor and it does not break
Did this a couple times.
In trying to solve the brake light issue before i really had an issue like tonight I found searching on here lots of times the fuses on top of the battery or the grounds under the battery were often the culprit of these lights. Had them all apart and cleaned last week and there was no corrosion to start with. Checked the pads/calipers/rotors and fronts were wore a little on the inside from a sticky caliper, but lubed up the sliders and seems ok now.
I'm thinking my real brake issue must be either the ABS module which is near the firewall right ? or else its the master cylinder ?
Anyone ever experienced the break pedal issue like i had today ? If so what was the problem ?
Thanks
