Fabia problem after bearing change

Featured Replies

Hi, I have today had my front wheel bearings changed using the proper gen2 tool and all went well until I drove away. Immediately upon driving away the abs light stayed on after starting the engine, the power steering light came on, speedo doesn't work and every time I turn the steering wheel or brake the petrol gauge drops down to empty and the petrol light comes on. When I straighten back out or lift off the brake the petrol gauge goes back to normal. None of this happened prior to having the bearings fitted. Any ideas as I spent all my money on having this done and can't really afford to take it to a dealer to sort it.

ABS wheel sensor or associated wiring damaged whilst fitting bearings?

What year/engine/trim level is the car?

ABS wheel sensor or associated wiring damaged whilst fitting bearings?

+1 totally agree, as my indy garage discovered fitting my new front bearing assemblies..

I'm not sure how a damaged wheel sensor (which are only connected to the ABS unit) can affect the fuel gauge (which is only connected to the dash insert and ground). A bad wheel sensor could be part of the problem or it could be a ground has been dislodged or both :(
