Thread: ABS noise?

normal - sounds like a spring being twanged ?

I'd say it's your Traction Control?

Sounds a bit like a spring being twanged - more like a scraping sound though - I'm thinking it is normal thanks waynep.

It's not TC - the only way I know TC is coming on is from the dash light, and the fact that the vehicle then tracks better - there is no noise associated with my TC.

Definitely ABS. Scared the life out of me the first time ours came on.

There should be a similar sound to the ABS when TC activates - it is the same pump working.

If you have no sound maybe your TC is not working.

Thanks Numpty - scared me too! But I don't hear it with TC coming on - but I'm sure it's working as the vehicle corrects itself in terms of it's track when the TC light illuminates.

Does your 110 make a similar noise with just TC on?

Mate all normal, I had both ABS and TC come on at the weekend down there, you get used to the noise . You should hear the HDC when you are going down something steep . And yes both are similiar sounding,

Yep, I heard it too. I've got to say, there is no way I could have controlled the downhill motion of the vehicle better than the HDC did. Absolutely marvellous on the long, steep, slippery surfaces on Sunday.....
