Abs Sensor

[stainesy]

can i disconnect my abs sensors and have my brakes still work propply?
it feels like my abs keeps cutting in at low speed and i think its a faulty sensor.
im not bothered if my abs light stays on if i do it i just want it to stop cutting in.
is it posible? if so how do i do it?

also are all calibra 16v brake discs and pads the same fitment? what i mean is are redtop 16v,s and ecotec 16v,s the same brake disc and pad fitments?

disconnecting the sensors won't stop the brakes from working (afaik) but it won't pass an mot with the light on.

2.0 8v and 16v brakes (4 stud) are all the same.

nice1 cheers mate. i aint bothered if the abs light is on. iv still got 10 months mot left. just want the abs to stop cutting in at low speed. iv nearly gone up the ars of a few people coz of it.
where is the abs sensor and how do i disconect it?

there is a sensor behind each wheel. it takes a reading off a ring which is on the cv joints at the front and on the hubs at the rear. the rings have lots of teeth cut out of them. just follow the wire back from the sensor until you reach a plug, and disconnect it.

personally its not something i would do, i'd just get it fixed. [img]/smile.gif[/img]
