Hi guys

Need some help.

I have had the car a couple of months and everything has been working fine.

This morning though, i started the car and the ABS light came on and stayed on all the way to work, 20 miles.

I switched it off and on again and it's still staying on.

Anyone got any ideas of what to check, i haven't got access to VAGCOM.

cheers

I am based in Eaton Socon, St. Neots.

Is a VAG-COM like this ?

Also, mine is a 1995, but it has a 16 pin port, does this mean it is obd11?

In short no.

Vagcom is a computer based fault code reader and programmer.

If you need your car reading I can do it for you. I liver at littleport but am in cambridge every day.
I have vagcom and access to a snap on solus scanner.

I can plug in and tell you whats up.
Its normally a sensor thats packed up and just needs changing, occasionally just very occassionally its the abs ecu thats thrown a wobbly, it does happen but not that often so dont panic, only panic if it turns out to be that.

I have a small flat fee for code reading, there are others on here that could read it for you but may not be able to interpret the result properly/correctly.

Call me anytime up till 10pm 07791001385 or message me on here or try mk2_16@hotmail.com
