Hey Wilko, did you manage to get to the bottom of this and find out what was blowing the fuse? I’ve got a similar issue, as every time I disconnect and reconnect the battery that same 20a fuse blows.. any help to try to diagnose the problem would be much appreciated.

16v_alan started following breaking late valver and early valver, ABS triggering on light braking..., Fog light reproduction . and and 7 others

Yeah, those are the symptoms Swifkid. And I had my BPPS repaired by Stealth too. Not too difficult to remove if you have a kebab skewer handy to unseat the circlip. As well as that, diagnostics also suggested that front OS sensor and Rear NS sensor and Ring were faulty on mine. After replacing all parts with new and clearing codes, ABS began triggering consistently upon braking at low speeds. On the off chance that I might find a quick fix, I cleaned up the old front sensor with WD40 and switched out the new one. One month later all is well, ABS light is behaving and I pray to the corrado gods every night. To summarise, considering this and that there were no signs of mechanical failure to the Rear Ring, I recommend cleaning those pesky sensors before replacing – the fronts are accessible without removing, the rears aren’t accessible without popping off the brake calliper etc. Hope that helps someone.

To answer your question David, no the ABS won't need resetting after disconnecting and reconnecting a sensor. Should just be able to plug back in - check procedure will detect it's connected on start-up again. I suggest clean the contacts of the one you unplugged. If you were driving around for any length of time with them disconnected there's a chance you could have collected dirt in there. I'm doing some ABS whispering myself, similar symptoms. will update on here when I get to the bottom of it...

definitely interested depending on how cost vs volumes works out to be. refresh my memory...are the fogs on the same on all the 'rados through the years, or was there a revision with the facelift ~1992? if so would the proposed design fit on old and new? top work rob. cheers :)
