Ive got a s2 erst, i take it all erst s2s have abs as standard? if so couls someone show me where the abs light should be in the dash?? the reason is mine doesnt light up and i think it must have been disconnected at some point, and will it fail the mot without it( it past the last mot) , cheers

 

chack that you have the bulb i take out mine so that it wont light

 

surly if the system is fitted it shud fail for not orking ..i wud have failed it when i was a tester

 

Just take the bulb out! or replace it which ever u want. It wont fail the MOT for not comming on as not all turbos come with it i dont think. i have got rid of mine as it does more bad then good.









Cut the belts lol

 

As has been said not all RST's have it. Providing the light works it won't fail. My ABS was filed away in the bin and the ABS light is now connected to the handbrake light so it goes on and off as normal

 

how c u tell if its fitted under the bonnet apart from the light in the dash(or lack of light in some cases!!)

 

why would you do this????
just cos you cut the belts dont mean that you've removed the abs!!!

 

check for the green ifrc relay under the dash my abs has been removed and i had to remove this relay for the light to stop workin

 

Open the bonnet and look at the brake fluid reservoir If it has two pipes goin in on the left as you look at it the car has ABS if not it doesn't (Whether it came with it or not is another matter). Also look to the left and down of the brake master cylinder and look for something that looks a little like a drum these are the ABS modulators. If you can't see these look down at the driveshaft and see if it has a teethed section to it (this is where the belt runs from to the modulator.

 

if the car has got ABS, it MUST be working to pass the mot. and the light must come on and go out accordingly.


you cant just cut the belts or remove the bulb or whatever cause it still has the ABS system, which, obviously, must be working for the mot.


no reason why you cant remove the whole abs system, cause, if it aint got it, the tester cant fail it!

 

do i need to replace the master cylinder if i remove the ABS modulators, or is there a way round it ??
