Why does my Volkswagen Polo's ABS light come on when I carry passengers in the back seats?
Can anyone throw any light on an annoying problem I'm having with my '51 Polo Match. It's a 3-door and it's usually just myself in the car, but I've noticed that whenever I fold the seat forward and have passengers sitting in the back of car my ABS light comes on. When the passengers get out and I turn ignition back on the lights goes off. Should I just ban passengers?

It may be a trapped cable, or it may be interference with the rear reluctor ring sensors due to the weight in the back of the car.

Facelifted Polo III, still with an upmarket image. Better than pre-facelift and all now have power steering.
