Apologies if this has been asked to death but I am at my wits end.
My car went for its MOT and unfortunately it was running with an ABS warning light. When i connected it to the scanner it came up as 0287 rear off side speed sensor. I cleared the error, swapped the sensor and it seemed to follow the faulty sensor so I bought a replacement sensor, cleared the fault and left it for a couple of days.
Anyway - to cut a long story short, the ABS warning light stayed off. Took it to the MOT for the retest, he was ready to give it the passed certificate and the light came back on again! http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif so he wouldn't pass it.
Put it on the scanner again and it came back with rear abs sensor again - even with the new one fitted.
Has anyone had any experience of this problem as this is probably the last time it'll go through the MOT and I just want to sort it to get it's ticket.
I have heard that VWs and SEATs in particular can go through ECUs and am hoping it's not this. but if so where would I go about getting a replacement and where is it located?
Many thanks
Dan
