    ABS light on, sensors need replacing

    Just check you haven't got a broken ABS sensor wire - its just two cables inside the sheath... You can splice them back on (polarity NOT important) if the actual sensor is still OK.

    If you do need a new rear sensor - the connector is under the rear seat, but I have seen on at least one occasion that the loom plug on the car is different to the connector supplied on the new sensors so you could be looking at a splicing job anyway.

      Also, double check they are seated correctly. If the sensor is sitting even slightly too far from the hub it won't work...

      Cheers,

        JUST given them a technical wiggle and, happy days... all seems OK, light out and not coming back on under heavy braking?

        Thanks for the info though

          With VAGCOM you can tell which sensor is playing up - you must have a damaged cable.
