Hi, My E46 ABS and traction control has been playing up for ages now and i think i've found out why its not working but would appreciate any opinions or if you think its just my weird way of thinking
took my car out today (ABS light on, so no ABS or traction control) parked it up went in the petrol station to buy a car wash code went back into the car. started the car back up, light still on. moved it forward and turned the car off.
I moved it/started it up about 3-4 times moving forward in the queue, and everytime the ABS light failed to go off but when i started it up to drive out after having my car washed the ABS light went out.
and now I come to think about it, the longest period of my ABS working fine was during the 3 weeks with snow.
does anyone else think that water ingress could be helping here or do you think its just coincedence? i've heard of water ingress making things worse but never helping you out!:hihi
I can't get the rear sensors out to have a look at them (when i tried on the front i snapped one :mad)
