VW Polo with ABS light coming on intermittently

Too many muppets put the lowest springs in that they can, ruining the handling, but my mates one is only lowered slightly. Up tight, twisty mountain roads we've often raced turbo Skylines, WRXs, Cefiros etc and they can't keep up around the corners! By the time we get to the top of the hill, the guys in the other cars always make excuses saying "my turbo is boosting properly" or "my wastegate is leaking" etc etc because they're so embarrassed their modern Japanese performance car got shat on by a 27 year old car.

I've been in e30s when they're sideways and they seem to be much more controllable than most other RWD cars. They also don't appear to bite back as hard if you push them too far.

When done right they are epic, but, yes they are a bit snappy, especially compared to the amazing E36 chassis, my old M-sport E36 was a dream to slide, you had to push it very hard, but, being gentle with the wheel was so rewarding. Too many people are too aggressive with the E30

And a remarkably shit part by all accounts, read of heaps of these things failing.

She's getting it done at a garage now, couldn't find one for any sort of decent price and anyway it needs doing tomorrow (WOF runs out)...

Bugger mate, if you had more time I could have got one for less than $200NZD I love my parts finding abilities.

Hmmm how long would it take to get here? Cheapest I could find was $200 but that was from UK Ebay.

You often get a few weeks grace with the rozzers here if the WOF has run out.
I'm trying to get the pressure sensor part number as these are very problematic, it'll throw a G201 code is it's bung.

EDIT, 01345 fault code sorry.

That's the trouble with cars these days, they're like bloody R2D2 with their error codes and sensors
