Hello all. this weeks new faults......
1. annoying 'squeak squeak' from (I believe) one of the pullies on the belt. Obviously only when engine is running and gets faster with engine rpm increase.
2. Where is my coolant water going???
I seem to be topping up the expansion tank weekly. (No obvious leaks/drips when running stationary) could it be the water pump?? Could it be that causing the squeak too???
3. Temperamental ABS fault. Startup and drive= ABS light goes off as normal then comes back on and stays on. However twice now the light has stayed off BUT as I've started braking (under normal smooth braking conditions) while hitting a speed hump or pot hole the brakes go crazy. Pedal starts clunking and bouncing. Sounds and feels like grinding on brakes and pedal goes rock hard and no matter how hard I press pedal = no brakes at all. I have to quickly release pedal and press again and then it works fine but then ABS light comes on. This is very worrying as on one of the occasions this sent me out into a busy junction. A miracle no cars were crossing the junction but I needed a new pair of pants..
Hope someone can advise?
Cheers boys and girls
