there is a fuse above the relays on mine, it is a pain to get to but it is there, there is suppose to be anouther fuse for the abs but i will be damned if i can find it,,

 

of you find it then post it up here because it seem to cause alot of people problems finding it,

 

if that does not work then vagcom is the way forward, 40 quid from any vdub specialist!

Thanks Nick, I have read about the fuses above the realys in my handbook & the factory manual but I am dammed if I can find them. If I get a chance I will post a picture of my fuse box later.

You need to post more i'm afraid dude! :lol:

 

I think it changes to 'regular' when you hit the 100 mark...

Looks alright for £13, says you can return it if you ain't happy too!

 

Only problem for me is it says on the application list that it doesn't work for G60 ABS :cry:

[just_say_meth 0]

got some read outs too,

 

Male

Drivers side front: 4.16

drivers side rear: 6.28

passenger side front: 6.28

passenger side rear: 6.28

 

Female

DSF: 0

DSR: 1.081

PSF: 0

PSR: 1.085

 

sorry to keep thread jacking, any help would be great, i'm taking it that the two front sensors are away but what does the DSF male reading of 4.16 mean??!

[Supercharged 2]

Guy's, I'm fairly sure it's the female readings you need to look at and once you've conformed the physical connection is ok, change the sensors...

 

The other readings are bassically looking at the ABS ecu - no idea on the relevence of these and may just be different because of cable length... I wouldn't worry for now as both of you have dead sensors...

Cheers Supercharged, Going in to the garage for sensor tomorro so will let you know how it goes, hope it works, MOT runs out friday!

Sensor been replaced, light still on, what the feck?

[nickeboy 0]

maybe the abs needs resetting, i think the newer models have a memory?

[A5 VRX 0]

Thing is cars been on 2 different computers and not one of them can read the car, or the car won't let them for some reason, thats why i'm fully stuck!

Hi guys, just thought i'd add my two penneth worth in here to try and really throw you off the scent.

 

When I got my 92 VR the ABS light was doing some funny things staying on, flashing, on and off intermittently. Took it to the garage and VAGCOM threw up a dead sensor so thinking all was fine I drove off........

 

Only for the ABS light to come on and STAY ON for the whole drive home!!

 

This carried on for some weeks so I decided to have a look myself and in the end I took the ABS rings off from inside of the rear discs (bit of a bitch to do!!) gave them a good clean up and re-fitted them. ABS light now comes on at startup and then goes off and stays off!!

 

WooooHooooo, but.........just my thoughts and personal experiences. Your's may well be different.

 

Give it a go and good luck boys
