i have a problem lately, while i break progressively (not slamming the brakes!) a noise << crrrrrr, like >> as if the ABS kicks in...
but the situation doesn't require the ABS system to kick in ((
Q: Did you encounter the same symptoms?
Q: If so, what was the remedy?
P.S. The garage people told me that there are situations when ABS kicks in even if you don't slam on the brakes or the surface is slippery... bullsh1t or not?! What do you think?

The ABS will kick in if it detects one or more of the wheels are loosing grip and are starting to lock up?
Normally when the ABS kicks in you can feel it through the pedal because it pulsates.
Without hearing the noise, it's going to be difficult to diagnose?
Have you checked the condition of your brake pads and discs? It could be that your pads have become glazed or your discs are scored.
Other than that Dunno

I appreciate this is a month after you first posted the query, but i had the same problem on my megane.(55 plate 1.5dci). The Grinding noise, similar to the ABS kicking in, turned out to be sticking brake calipers.
I took the car in, the renault dealer replaced them under warranty and said they had a few issues with this on some meganes.
so far they've been ok. hope this helps.
