Good morning everyone.
Some advice pls. Last night i backed into the driveway with my 2000 model Jetta V5. I struggled a bit over the rarher shitly placed drain, and then what sounded like a tyre blowout from the front driver side wheel. I moved forward got out and checked the right front tyre which was still okay. This morning while driving to work the abs light came on 1 min into the drive.
No other lights are on, brakes are fine, at least for normal braking. Any ideas pls

Re: V5 ABS light came on
Got to work about 15 mins ago and thought i would juat idle it for a bit after switching off. Been idling for 15 mins now and no abs light coming on. In fact it comes on as normal when the ignition is on and then goes off once engine starts.

Re: V5 ABS light came on
Hi, It might have impacted an ABS sensor or there is a play on the wheel bearing. Get it diagnosed.

Re: V5 ABS light came on
An abs light will not come on while idling unless the wiring is broken off. You have to drive the car then it will come on again.

Agree.
The advantage of latest review on https://bestgrillcover.com/best-grill-cleaners is here. They offer many other resources for me. It's easy up there. I read just for the fun of it.
