Hi all, 

 

A member of the fabia community very kindly offered to scan my VRS with VCDS which showed Implausible signal on o/s/r wheel.

 

I’ve checked the fuses above the battery - all fine, internal fuses appear fine. I’ve checked all four wheels and there isn’t any wheel play to suggest a bearing has gone. 
 

I thought I’d ask before I make any purchases, would I be right in thinking the next step would be to replace the wheel bearing and abs sensor on the O/S/R? 

thanks 

No, it won't be the sensor AND the bearing, it's more likely to be the wiring or the sensor, you can test both without replacing anything.

No. It's likely to be one of the wiring, the stator (sensor) and the rotor (chopper disc). All 3 can be checked without use of the parts cannon. As, indeed, can the wheel bearing.

This thread, especially the linked page of it, may be relevant, especially if your car like almost all mk1s has had leaky rear doors.

Unexpected find in the wiring department.
