Title: ABS
Post by: Tazzy on 03 October 2011, 13:12

i dont think ive had ABS for a few months now, the ABS light has been on, plugged in the vagcom, said it was the front right, so we changed the driver side sensor, reset the vagcom, the fault came back, stating front right, despite it being a new sensor, my mate suggests buying a sensor for the front passenger, but surely thats the front left?

should we change the sensor and see what happens as its a waste of a tenner if theres nowt wrong with it? what else could it possibly be on the front driver side?

cheers

i dont really want to spend £15 on a sensor if i know that isnt the problem, how easy/difficult is the cable to change?

thanks again
