Hi,

I have a couple of ABS fault codes and would like a second opinoin.

2 Faults Found:
00287 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor: Rear Right (G44)
35-10 - - - Intermittent
00287 - Shareware Version. To Decode all DTCs
16-10 - Please Register/Activate - Intermittent

Are these fault codes linked to each outher?

Do you think I need to replace the rear sensor and if so has anyone done this?

Thanks

Do you have an ABS light showing? They may be old codes clear them and see if it returns. The sensor is cheap and easy to replace

I have cleared the codes so will keep an eye on it.

I think I have had this error code before!

Ok I went for a drive 30 mins after I cleared the codes and the ABS light came back on. Now when I try to clear it it will no go.

00287 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor: Rear Right (G44)
35-00 - -


So I guess its the sensor that need to be switch out. Does anyone have a guid for this I have seen a video on youtube but its very crood.

Easy to change buy a genuine replacement takes 30 minutes if it's tight

Hi,

Looks like the part is easy to get hold off to a look (http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&LH_BIN=1&_nkw=mk4+golf+rear+right+abs+sensor&LH_PrefLoc=1&_sop=3)

And this is the video I found

before you rip it out, do confirm it is the sensor that broke. its only a coil of wire inside a case with 2 wires sticking out, so check it has resistance and compare it with another known working sensor. if its out, replace it, if not, check the wiring. i have known so many get replaced when they worked just fine and this was only realised when a new one is fitted and the same fault occurs.

Hi Mat, Have managed to fix it? Was it actually the sensor?

Hi,

I have not managed to fix this yet but Iam pritty sure it is the sensor it seems to be a problem with this age of vehical.

Hi,

Ok a dealer wants £85.16 + VAT for a genuwine part. Iam thinking of fitting one of the ones online what do you think?

Shop around you should get a genuine one for less than that, try TPS. Genuine will definitely work and comes with a 2 year guarantee

Ok TPS have said £61.32 inc VAT. However Iam not going to have the car any longer than a furter 6 - 7 months so think I will go with an online one this time

Hi All,

Today I replaced the ABS sensor and have reset the ECU. I will give it a couple of weeks and report back my findings but so fare it looks good.

There is no easy way to get the old sensor out or put the new one in. Took me about 1 hr but now I have dont it I think I could do it again in 40 mins!
