ABS sensor price
« on: 30 November 2005, 19:24 »
ABS light been coming on intermittantley for a few days and the pedal has kicked at low speed a few times . From other posts,  i assume it's the ABS sensors? Checked ECP for prices and got the below

as you can see they only seem to stock fronts , but why the variation in price? can that be right £8 and £6?

cheers folks  :wink:

Unplug the sensors and check for resistance.
Front connections are mounted on the suspension strut, rear connections are under the back seats.

Also you can try cleaning the sensors, and check the rotors for physical damage.

Easy to fit , just trickey to get your head round at first [cos you cant see what you are doing].

Lift up your back seat , there will be two rubber plugs with cables coming out of them going to two white plastic connectors [one for each side]. Unplug these and push the plugs through the bottom of the floorpan [i.e. outside] .

Now you should see where the wire routes along the top of the rear suspension arm and into the rear side of the brake assembly . It just held in with a allen bolt , but may be trickey to remove [they come straight out ].
