  • ABS Sensor - where to get one?

    I'm after a nearside rear ABS Sensor for my S2 Avant, anybody know where to get one from? I've tried Brakes International and Europarts, and neither are able to get them (though BI said they're listed as the same as RS2 items). Any reccomendations?

    I have a feeling this could be an item from my local Audi Stealership

      Thanks Steve, surely they can't be over £100?

      Does anyone have a part number for this bit, reading round gives me the suspicion that they may be the same as other general Audi 80 B4's, is this true?

        They are hilariously expensive - its true... You need to know a few things here... The replacement rear ones have a different connector to what is used at the factory so you need to splice in the new one or make up your own 2-pin connectors if you want it to be unpluggable. Next its very common to damage the copper sleeve thats in the hub carrier to locate the ABS sensor - or at least you find that area is full of rusty dung. A new sleeve and some copper grease are highly recommended.

        Part numbers to follow.

          Rear ABS sensor for Avant is 8A0 927 807 C priced well over 100 quid on my old info
          Also calls up two versions of 2-pin plug for you to choose from - namely 893 971 632 and 4B0 971 992

          Logic tells me the old part number (893 prefix) will be right for your car - but I wouldnt be 100% sure - they are cheap so get both versions.

          The copper sleeve is 443 927 809 at ~8 quid each as well
