advice on speed sensors
« on: March 07, 2014, 08:15:23 pm »
just wondering which brand of speed sensors people would recommend?
my lights came on a few months ago as previous posts, i changed the sensor for a bosch one from eurocarparts and the lights stayed off for a week or so.
then the lights came back on so i changed the wheel bearing which once removed it was obvious the ring was knackered and all was well for a few months and now the lights have come back on :(
the bearings not loose so presume the bosch sensors gone tits up. but which one to replace with? these are not cheap!

i wouldn't think your sensor's gone if you used a bosch one bud, i've recently had some chew with using fuel parts sensors that were giving me the run around, once i changed them again for bosch ones from euro car parts both cars were fine,  have you had it pluged in again to make sure its that sensor at fault?

Didn't you repair your harness if I remember correctly - how good was the repair and what method have you used to diagnose the fault - VCDS scan ?
