Front ABS sensors

Recommended Posts

I need to replace both front sensors according to a garage who read the codes for me.

Looking for replacements on Ebay I can see quite a variation in price, some febi are listed at £30 each down to unnamed at about £8 a side

Is there any difference other than price? anyone used the cheaper ones?

Or a VW original at twice that price again! I try to get genuine whenever it's possible to not have my pants pulled down, but in this case I'd get a branded one. I just got a febi rear for £30 and I'd advise getting one of them. Fitment is perfect and it should at least last a while rather than a cheep copy.

My ABS light keeps coming on every now and then Most its off but its been on twice) - (brakes feel fine) could this be a sensor problem - is this a common fault? Will get it checked out after Christmas - haven't got time before then!

It's the most common problem. If you have a multi meter, check resistance at each connector which will tell you if it at fault. Intermittent problems though are better checked using vagcom if you can.

Hi there,

 

I had a sensor go on my vr6 and used the Meyle sensor from vwspares.co.uk for £12.60 each. Sorted my car and have been fine for 4 years.

 

Cheers

 

Matt
