another ABS question...

[Quads 0]

hi all...

the last few weeks my ABS light has been coming on and off quite frequently.

I took it to a local VW specialist who put it on the VAG-COM device last week, and it popped up with a right rear wheel sensor and calibration error.

So had the sensor replaced.. and error cleared.

Picked the car up and the ABS sensor came back up gain !

Odd I thought so I took it back, the garage put it back on the VAG-COM, and the error came up with a rear left sensor. So the garage replaced the rear/left sensor. Test drove it and cleared the errors.

So went to pick it up from the garage... and guess what the ABS light comes on again.. !!

so I have booked it in again.. Im getting worried that this may be something a little more expensive than just a sensor.

The only odd noise I heard was a "springy Boing" noise when I was driving once, then ABS light flashed up. This noise has happened twice ( before and after the garage visit).

I have used the garage for over 6 years.. and they are relieable and honest out fit, and seem to know what they are doing.

But the ABS light is now begining to worry me slightly..

Just wonderered if any other VR6'rs have had any similar problems..

Please help ?!

I have seen the errors reported on the VAG-COM device while I was at the garage, so I know the garage aint lying.

what happens when the VAG-COM went on it after you had other sensor replaced? the wiring that goes to the sensors may of deteriated ?

could be a multitude of problems, good luck, its usually quite expensive to get the f00king thing fixed, i know from my service history that my previous owner paid nearly $500 (pounds) to fix the abs.

Well when the rear right sensor was replaced.

Then ABS flashed up.

Then the rear left flashed up on VAG -com, that was replaced.

The went to collect it, and ABS flashed up.

Took it back a 3rd time, was told the wire was loose connect to the ABS module/wheel.

Drove home, ABS flashed up.

Will need to take it back and leave it with the garage for a couple of days for proper diagnosis.

The ABS light is intermittent, so fingers crossed its not the ABS pump/module/brain thingy !!

Well the VAG-COM device pops up with right rear tolerance message.

The garage has done a few bit extra bits like replacing the right rear ring. double checked all the wiring.

But the VAG com still displays right rear tolerance calibration error.

The garage reckon the ABS ECU might need replacing.

Does any any know how much one of those units cost and labour hrs to fit ?

Thanks

All the possible ABS Fault codes are listed here:

Which one are you getting?

Thanks for that..

The mechanic had a small portable VAG-com device.

When he showed me the errors , 2 messages popped up.

1) rear right sensor

2) R/Right calibration error

I did'nt get time to note the codes down. So I will ask him, when I speak to him next.

I have a 98 VR ...

Bloody ABS.......!!!
