I need to replace my rear drivers side ABS sensor. Dealer has quoted £180 + fitting....wow. Anyway, I said I would think about it. In the meantime I have managed to get hold of a second hand one for £25 well chuffed....as long as it works.

My question is.... how easy/difficult is it to fit? I guess, if I take a second hand part to the dealer to fit, they will charge me an arm and a leg to get some cash out of me. I am pretty good with DIY mechanics and can handle a spanner o.k.

One more thing though, will the fault code need re-setting at the dealers?

Thanks for any help.

Regards James

 

unsure of the fitting side of things, altho sure its not that hard.... As for fault code an ECU reset (what year car?) will sort that....

 

Car is a MY99. I wasn't sure if an ECU re-set would sort it or not.

 

When i had my classic MY97 ( MY99 P1 engine etc fitted tho) the speed sensor wire broke so when i reconnected it just an ECU reset sorted that so sure it will be the same...
