cunijoeme 0 Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 hi all, i have a 2001 mk4 2.8 vr6 with an AUE engine. my abs unit has recently flagged up a longitudinal acceleration sensor electrical failure fault (01279) ive done some googling and have decided to replace the sensor however, i cant find it. all the repair manuals ive seen say its on the right side a pilar... not there, ive checked under the steering wheel and removed the glove box to no avail. if anyone can enlighten me i would be most grateful. FYI its left hand drive if that makes any difference. Thanks Joe. Link to post Share on other sites

motorrob 15 Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 can yo get vagcom plugged in to see if the sensor is working? I had this fault come up with couple others. turned out it was abs unit at fault not sensor fault. I would assume its on the steering column, centre console or under seat.
