Hi I'm new to fixing Sharan's.
Mine's the 1997 TDI AFN engine model, with an ABS ring attached flat to the outer CV joint. The offside outer CV has a completely broken ABS ring on it and unfortunately I'm going to have to change the complete outer CV joint (unless possible to buy just the ring). Presently both ABS sensors are reading approximately 1060 ohms at 7 deg C and the ABS light is permanently switched on showing faulty.
QUESTIONS: Can you buy just the ABS ring (I've tried unsuccessfully so far from dealer's). Is it possible to change the outer CV joint in situ i.e. without having to remove the complete inner, outer and shaft? Are there any major problems to come accross once you have started on the job (I haven't started yet as the car is still usable, but without ABS working).
Many thanks for any help.
