Magnet Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Welcome Dan, A school of thought to consider:- Renewing the ABS sensor is fine. ( what brand did you use?) The sensor is just that, it senses the signal from the wheel hub. I believe the sender (which the sensor receives it signal from) is integral with the hub, and it maybe this sender is at fault - and not the sensor. If that is the case, then a replacement hub will be needed. Febi hubs have been used to good effect. Perhaps you could keep us updated on developments. Kind regards, Gareth.

Dan8p Posted September 8 Author Share Posted September 8 I replaced the sensor and it erased the ABS code on OBD but I still have ESP and steering light on which I can’t seem to turn it off I’ve replaced loads of parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan8p Posted September 8 Author Share Posted September 8 No I haven’t replaced the hub , I replaced the ABS sensor the steering angle sensor , the haldex filter and pump , have been searching for this illusive earth strap for the rear diff with no avail , so would you suggest replacing the hub ? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan8p Posted September 10 Author Share Posted September 10 No need to be !Removed! , I came in here for some advice not sarcastic replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybrook Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 (edited) When I replaced the rear hub/abs sensor the steering angle light went off only after doing a lock to lock steer. And esp light went off after a short drive. Edited September 10 by Rybrook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you owe Magnet an apology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Thanks Cliff, but there is no need for Dan to apologise. I guess it’s what we can expect to top it off when we sit here being a rapid and free source of advice. My turn to apologise to you Dan- I won’t be offering any further comments on your posts. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I’m sorry but being asked if I have replaced it doesn’t recommend replacing it so I just wanted to be sure , thank you for your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
