HELP...!! I've got a 2.5 16V 190 and there is an intermittent problem with the ASD and ABS (it appears to be linked). Please bear with me as I attempt to describe it.... In essence there are 2 symptoms.. 1st is that when moving at parking speeds (forward or reverse) the ASD warning triangle lights up and the diff locks resulting in nasty clanking noises which sounds like the plates locking in the diff, the other is that at standstill when I rev the car I can feel a lot of feedback through the brake pedal (like the ABS working). Very occasionally the ABS warning light comes on and then once I've turned the car off and started it again the ABS light is not on anymore!
Now... I've removed the sensors from the front wheels and cleaned them and have tested them for a signal and they appear to be fine. When I remove the ASD relay (from near the battery) the locking of the diff stops but the feedback through the brake pedal remains!?? Have also done a fault test on the ASD and it indicates no fault!! I am at a loss of what to do to be honest... I'm tempted to replace the ASD relay but cannot imagine why that would fix it so am reluctant to spend the money on the off chance... can ANYONE PLEASE help me with some info.....??
Thanks...
