Hi people,got a 325 tourer with ABS problem.At low speeds in traffic etc i apply brakes to stop and just before ,ABS judder will kick in.Not good as it can carry on for two to three feet.Try this doing a three point turn in a town road,i,ve nearly come close several times.After this ABS light will come on and brakes ok.At high speed brakiing is fine with or without light on.What do i do.Can ABS be deactivated by removin something.I just dont want to be stung by a garage for them to say its the pump at fault when it could be eliminated.Cheers anyone.........

what you need it sounds like and ABS ecu problem ??? you can buy all these bits off the zone speak to dips346 or jonb i am sure they will have the bits you want

These are the exact same symptoms of my problem that I had 2 years ago. The problem was a faulty sensor giving the wrong readings. You can test the resistance of the sensors with a voltmeter, they should all be about the same, any variations and the sensor will need replacing. You could disconnect on abs sensor and i think this will deactivate the system.

I know what you mean about it being dangerous it just feels like the car wont stop, well it doesn't it just makes a crunching noise and doesn't do a lot.

So i think have a look at the sensors first then the relays and then the ECU.
