The brakes on my 98 CC 4x2 with ABS also locks up on me the first time I
step on the brakes in the morning. This also occurs when it has rained or
there is a heavy dew on the grass. After the first lock up it does not
occur again. Let me know how you solve your pinging as I seem to have the
same problem with my V6 also.
