Strugs

Just bought a warrantied pump on ebay for 50 quid.. Now where's the fingers-crossed emoji!?

I'd already changed the sensor, and now the hub. Yes, can't necessarily odds that either of those new items isn't faulty, but I'm not sure I'm left with much else now other than the pump?

The code was 00290 "Left Rear ABS Wheel Speed Sensor" with the state: 'Electrical Fault in Circuit' and that's not changed. The hub was one from Autodoc. Interestingly, having unplugged the loom at the ECU end to check the continuity to the sensor, which - as I said, is fine - and the plugging the loom back into the pump and setting off, it took a good while for the ABS light to come back on (gave me false hope that unplugging and plugging in had cured it! ) which, to me, indicates it's the ECU/ABS pump..

So, the fault code kept saying 'Electrical fault' in relation to the ABS/Speed sensor on that wheel. Have checked the continuity of the wire and all good. So, the conclusion now is it's a failure of the ABS pump/ECU which is a right pain in the 'arris!! Apparently relatively common on certain VAG products and the only fix is replace or refurb. Bugger!

Haven't read the code since fitting the hub, but I thought the ABS reset/checked each time (I.e. would self-clear when problem is solved..)?

Hub changed. ABS light still on! Time to chase the wiring break now..

Cracking, cheers

Greetings all.. My mother's Fabia 2 1.4 TDI (drums on the rear) has a fault with the n/s/r ABS/speed sensor ring. We've changed the sensor plug, still throws up the ABS warning light. DTC codes 00290 and P1857. Think it must be the magnetic sensor ring (or is 'reluctor ring'??). Assuming this is fitted in the hub? Is it a seperately changeable item or does it need a new hub?
