replacing rear abs sensor

[VW BUSH]

People are making it sound a lot worse than it actually is, yes they do get seized into position BUT it's still not a big job to replace them.

+1 easy job to do, I remove the scale from the hole with an old imperial size drill about .20mm bigger than the metric size.
This helps with the New sensors being a bit tighter in the hole, they dont like being banged in

Na they don't, ive had to file or grind down virtually every new sensor before fitment.

Test the sensor before you remove it. Rear right fault can be a sign of ECU failure. Just had this. Changed sensor and fault is still there. And thats with a S/H replacement ECU fitted.

if it is the sensor would the fault go straight away or does it take a while for light to go out...heard somewhere it can take a few miles before light goes out.surly you can use vagcom to clear fault if it is sensor

If the problem has been solved, the light should go out as soon as you go over about 20mph, or it might be slower than that.
You won't need VAG com to reset it.

I think it's 15mph.
