Hi, I'm new to this site, I have a 1.7 2001 puma. Last year not long after hitting a pot hole i noticed the ABS/Traction Control lights on, on the dash. I has replaced both the front sensors which put the lights out, but then after approx 30 secs of driving the ABS pump would start making a loud noise and the brake pedal would be bouncing. When applying the brakes at this point they would sound like they are grinding, then would go back to normal.
I replaced the ABS pump (2nd hand one) but same problem although the pump noise was reduced with this replacement. Over the several months i have since replaced the sensors again, 1 at a time, nothing changed. The brakes will work absolutely fine if i unplug 1 or both sensors (lights on dash will return though)
Ive taken it to a garage to be checked and they can't find anything wrong, their diagnostic machine picked up an abs sensor fault for a split 2nd, this was when i replaced them again.
I drove the car last weekend after swapping 1 of the sensors with a previous sensor, although the pump noise seems to be gone i can still feel the peddle bouncing.
I'm stumped now, any ideas will be greatly appreciated. P.S also will be for sale once this problem is finally resolved.
