As I have said before the ABS light is on permanently in the 25G.Also the hand brake has been disconnected because it would not release.Ithas been this way for a couple of months.

Today after about 2k of driving, after stopping and turning key off, heard a strange buzzing coming from under the hood. On looking the buzz was found to be coming from the ABS unit. Turned the key to the on position and it stopped. Turned off and still stopped but then came on again. Its at it all the time even with engine running. It stops if I pull the outer 30 amp in the box under the hood. Have checked the in car fuse and it's OK. System has Castrol DOT4 fluid.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

I think the only way we are going to debug this is if I come past and plug the diagun into the car. is it visually throwing codes at all?

No the only thing I know is the ABS light has been on for yonks, before I did the upgrade. The buzzing arrived uninvited.Since pulling the fuses, front brakes can be locked. Pardon my ignorance but are there sensors on the rears of a RWD, or 4WD for that matter.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.

      Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.

      The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
