Default Re: Mysterious clunk

>>> Viet was right - it's the ABS self-check routine. Activates at 7mph.

Hadn't noticed the clunk but I usually have the radio on so will try to remember to look/listen for it

Slightly related......

I notice the first use of the brakes (after standing outside overnight) snatch prety violently - passengers have commented on it as well (blaming it my driving skills ! )

After the first "snatch" it settles down to it's normal level- still a bit over sensitive for my tastes but I guess I'll have to get used to it (unless someone has suggestions for that too )

Since my parking spot is very close to the first place I have to stop, I may not have reached 7mph before using the brakes

Any thoughts anyone ?
