Abs sensor replacement

[tommccabevRS]

Has anyone ever changed an abs sensor before? Had a quick look today and I seen the wire disappears up the arch lining somewhere just wanted to know how far up it goes and is it a relatively easy job when you find the other end?

all the way under the scuttle panel to the ecu night mare m8 and you got to solder it aswell i got abs light ive changed abs sensor the wire only available from skoda £50 and its still on my options now are abs ecu or dodgy wheel bearing driving me mad

The wire on my right hand side sensor got a nick in it and it brought up the lights on the dash, 'mended' it with electricians tape and it's always been fine just sometimes the abs kicks in for no reason at all and now I've upgraded my brakes it just kicks in all the time so I'm thinking gunna have to replace it now

So you can only buy the wire from skoda or does the wire and sensor come as one? Ive been looking at them on euro car parts for about £35

What a rip-off price for a bit of wire and a couple of plugs, eh?

Is your abs light on when you start the car? Or just when you start driving?

its not on at all, it was on all the time until I cleaned it up and wrapped electricians tape round it

I wouldn't imagine a bearing would fix it although stranger things have happened.. Usually if it's the magnetic ring on the bearing, it will only come on when the car starts driving because the sensor isn't picking up the correct signal (usually lol)
