Hi, just wondering if anyone knows of the front break lines on a mk1 1.4tdi are the same as the vrs, I’m getting a set of front hubs and calipers from a vrs and was wondering if the lines would fit, only changing them because my wheel bearing is pushing its self out and I’m spending too much on abs sensors and this is a cheap way to fix and improve the breaking t

Bearings can move outward if the hub has gone oval. Happened to our Roomster, purchased a second hand hub from scrap yard and been ok since.

I'm presuming from your main profile pic that your car is a 2006 model. Looking at the parts diagram it looks like the front brake hoses are identical.

Yeah it’s a 2006, changed the front hubs and breaks today but the abs light came back on a few miles down the road, all the wiring has been checked just waiting to get the the garage and have it plugged in

There's your problem; whatever you broke is still broken!

 

Seriously, check the heavy duty fuses on the battery top very carefully for cracks.

I’ve checked the fuse and it’s fine, coming up with front left abs speed sensor, does anyone know if the sensors from the vrs are the same as the 1.4tdi? If not then I’ll order a vrs one, thanks 

I thought you said you'd replaced the sensor?

I have, and the wiring has been checked don’t know what else it could be 

The reluctor ring perhaps.

Do you know where I could get one? I’ve looked in Euro car parts and can’t find one 

The reluctor ring is all part of the bearing.

...which was coming out of the hub when the problems started.

Yeah I know, it could be damaged. Was just letting him know that it's not a separate part.

Would it have to be a genuine Skoda abs sensor?

Any decent brand would do.

Can you please clarify what is now fitted to the car?

Secondhand vRS wheel bearing housings with the bearings and ABS sensors they came with? Or what?

 

I think what you are calling 'hubs' is what Skoda call 'wheel bearing housing', item 7/7A here? https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/fabia/fab/2006-453/4/407-407010/

 

It can get confusing because if you look at item 8, Skoda call that the 'wheelhub with bearing'. That's the part with the magnetic ring on the inner face, which the ABS sensor picks up.

This part must be fitted with tooling that avoids pressing on the front face, as that normally damages the bearing and/or fails to install it far enough into the wheel bearing housing.

 

Did your troubles described in the first post follow a 'wheelhub with bearing' change on the nearside front?

 

 

 

 

Said tooling...

Hub swap should be straight forward, nothing tricky. 

 

Need to know what the fault code is. 

It was the wheel bearing housing with the hubs and bearing in and they were working when they came off the vrs but I’m having the same fault code come up 

Implausible signal is more than likely a faulty air gap or pick up.
