    Hi, I think I have a problem with a wheel sensor. The ABS seems to be operating all the time if I brake or steer. If I disable the ESP (whatever that is) it's fine but I assume that disables the ABS as well.

    Is this caused by a wheel sensor? If so, how do I tell which one?

    Thanks

    Disabling ESP won't affect ABS.

    You will need a VCDS scan to find out what is wrong.

    Could just be a wheel sensor, but at least it will tell you which one.

    Well it does affect the ABS! It's undriveable without switching off the ESP, but it's OK with it switched off as long as I don't brake too hard (if I do the ABS comes on very early and stays on for a few seconds as I drive off).

    Get it scanned and report back.
    Ideally drive it and monitor live data for all wheel speeds.
