nfbr Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 also - with regards to the wire in the pic... Is that not just the ABS sensor? If so i'll price one up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noddy Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 thats not going to be cheap to refit as its a part of the wiring loom shame i could of cut mine out in one peace so it could of been run back in to yours as i am taking my abs out style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 hey thanks for the replies. i got vw to check it out last week and they said it would be fine to just repair it rather than replace it? im guessing that means its a difficult one to replace? darren said he'd take a look for me. it is the sensor wire yea i think. so far the insulation tape is doing the trick *touch wood* please hold out down the motorway too!!!

It should only take 20mins to fix it. Dont worry about the drive there either, she will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 So what was the outcome of this Jen? Did you managed to get it sorted cheaply? Or is it going to be expensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 We temp fixed it last week.Tidied up the bare cable and then used several layers of insulation tape on it. Its stopped the ABS kicking in all the time and no light which is good. Only problem now is the sensor is fecked. Darren got it on VAGCOM at the weekend, and as soon as your clear the fault, it comes straight back. Itll get fixed when it goes in for a service at MidlandVW next month.VWR Lupo - not your fault at all mate, it just looks like the cable moved slightly, and was poking out from the strut towards the tyre. Just one of them things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
