ESP & ABS Light *** All Fixed ***
« on: November 19, 2012, 09:07:40 pm »
Hi all

i changed my springs a couple of weeks ago, and the abs and esp light came on the dash so i had it put on the computer and it indicated there was an electrical problem with wheel speed sensor. i changed the sensor today and put it back on the computer and cleared the codes but the lights are still lit up :confused:

I then disconnected the battery and now the steering wheel light is also on the dash!!

has any1 suffered this and managed to sort it??

Sounds like it could be a steering angle sensor but that would have come up with a vcds scan. Failing that it may be the dreaded abs pump itself.

Have you driven the car since you disconnected the battery? My steering light came on after I disconnected the battery but went back off after a few yards...

it sounds to me that you may have damaged the sensor cable when installing springs. Seen this happen a few times.

Does it pinpoint to only on wheel sensor by chance?
If so, I'm almost 99% sure you have a break in cable somewhere.

The car is all fixed now. it turned out to be the abs loom. it cost me £25 for the wire through a mate at VW and then another mate charged £25 to fit it and clear the codes.

It feels like heaven knowing that i wont have to fork out for a big bill for the dreaded abs pump.  :jumpmove:
