ep82 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I thought I noticed this a while back but tested it out and I cant find anything. but today I felt it again.when I brake (hard but not max.....say 80%) I felt something knocking on the bottom of my feet. maybe 3 knocks per second??!?. I felt it coming from the brake pedal.Can anyone tell me what this means? iit has had new front and rear brake pads and disc when I got the car 2 years ago. did about 4/5000 miles since.

johngreen537 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 It's the ABS kicking in mate. Perfectly normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ep82 Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 Whoop John to the recuse I thought it could be the abs as it feels like it's squeezing the pads multiple times but thought I'd check. Just haven't felt this on my evo and my dads ep3 before. Thought maybe you don't normally feel it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 ABS is brutal on these civics, and not even that good.i stalled from skidding in the snow the other week. not impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 yeah, I agree. It has helped a couple of times before, but tbh, during this snow, theres been a few times when I just couldnt get the car to stop even from like 5 mph, just because the abs wouldnt booger off! Few scary moments like! It does feel quite violent on these civics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johngreen537 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 lol, there's a world of difference from the ABS on the civics to modern cars.Modern stuff is all electroinc, so you hardly even know it's working! Civics, the scarey noises are properly cool though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
