why don't you just buy a working abs/airbag light unit off ebay?

If you want to get it, take out your old light unit and look on the side of the white plastic to make sure the part no. 1H2 919 235E is the same. Later models had an S on the end

If it's a sensor then you can get one ordered online from www.eurocarparts.com a lot cheaper

Cheers pete, i think im going to replace both the front ones, just so i dont have to later in life! 

[Pete Taylor]

Why don't you buy two... replace the broken front one... and keep the other new one as a spare to get the maximum life out of the other one..?

I could do but im not as clever as you pete  , but i figure they never been done, and its taken me 3 months to get around to doing this one..... so imagine if the other one goes later this year. Maybe i just need to not be so lazy...... :/

[Pete Taylor]

I can't see the point in replacing both mate fronts mate. Just replace the broken one and buy a spare sensor incase the other front ever goes
