it's true there's plenty to learn, and 3 months is a realistic study period, but we don't mind helping newbies to quick answers either :smile:


yes its your ABS pump. If it runs for a few seconds every so often, that's normal. When it starts to get longer before it stops pumping then your system is loosing pressure somewhere internally and the pump has to work more. Could be the accumulator (that's the ball, which is a reservoir of fluid pressurised against a flexible membrane at the "equator" of the ball) or a number of other things. Unless it's leaking a lot of fluid it's not dangerous, your brakes will keep working OK, but extended clicking is not good. Eventually the ABS warning lamp will come on in your gauge cluster and it will click all the time. Then u have to fix it, or do your pump in.


But as suggested, go read the FAQ and Wiki on ABS
