POLO Abs Light

[ifti_a]

sorry, for incomplete post

ok we changed this outself the part cost 15.57 from GSF, but the light still remains on and the same error is coming up

1 Fault Found:

00283 - Front Left ABS Wheel Speed Sensor (G47)

35-10 - - - Intermittent

doesnt make sense

anyeone have any idea

[House_Hunter]

Cool, any tips or did you manage to find a guide anywhere?

[House_Hunter]

Did you clear the fault (i.e. via vag-com etc) and then it comes back?

[ifti_a]

Did you clear the fault (i.e. via vag-com etc) and then it comes back?

yep, it comes back after clearing the fault and changing the faulty sensor

thinking it might be a faulty new sensor we are going to get that replaced, then we will have a clearer idea on what it could be.

[House_Hunter]

Was it easy enough to do? The sensor replacement?

[ifti_a]

yep

quite easy

first take off the wheel, then take the sensor nut off using a allen key,

the sensor is extremly hard to pull back, its kind of stuck in, it will thipe this helpsake some pulling and turning to pull it back and out.

carefully disconnect the wire and that should be it

hpe this helps

my light remains on even though the sensor has been repaced twice plus diag software still shows a fault with the sensor

I have just had this on an A2 which is almost identical to the Polo 9N as it uses the same suspension and ABS parts. Initially we had open circuit codes from the sensors which did not respond to new sensors just being plugged in, eventually we found both front harness were damaged and we had to solder in replacement harnesses on both sides. This resulted in both open circuits going but only restored the speed pulse to the right. We then found that the CV joint on the nearside was damaged and had eaten away the sensor and the CV joint itself has been Loctited into the wheel bearing and will not come out even with a 10 tonne press on it. This is a sales car from a garage and has been horribly messed around with. Next I have to fit a new hub carrier, wheel bearing and hub.

Crasher - that is crazy! Good effort mate!

Hmm...ifti_a, sorry at a loss....

Once I get my **** in gear and buy a vag-com cable, may end-up having same issue!

[House_Hunter]

Hi,

Now a proud owner of a vag-com cable... got the fault code:

01276 - ABS Hydraulic Pump (V64)
012 - Electrical Fault in Circuit

Any ideas?

I checked the fuse in the compartment next to dash, was fine (tested by switching with wiper one).

I heard there is a 2nd fuse on top of the battery? Is that right?

[Crasher]

Check the fuses on top of the battery, the strip one may be cracked but often you can only see this if the fuse is removed.
