rear abs sensor problem

[Stew]

hi all, ony 2008 197 cup ive just had a new bosch rear abs sensor fitted, (sourced by me) had the fault come up a while back, had the code read at a garage and this part was needed apparently.
Ive driven home and the abs/esp and the spanner lights came back on.
I have read somewhere that its likely now to be the abs ring that is at fault? the garage were very unhelpful saying they had gone as far as they could with it (i know) so im just wondering where i could get an abs ring from please? i always go to rpd but i cant see one listed just the abs holder which i think is different?
any help would be gratefully received
many thanks, stew

Have you replaced the ABS sensor bracket? Are you talking about the rear brakes?

 

[Stew]

hi thanks for your reply, i only replaced the actual abs sensor lead not the bracket. Yes its the rear brakes sorry
thanks stew

The brackets rust and fall apart. If you have not changed it yet then that might be your problem. They are relatively cheap to replace if you are comfortable to do it yourself.

thanks for your reply again!
great thank you for that.The garage dodnt say anything about the bracket being broken i assume they just threw the sensor on cleared the dashboard lights and handed it back to me.
I don't feel confident doi g this type of work myself if om honest, its my daily car and i wouldnt have a clue about putting brakes back together! my limit has been replacing the whole front wiper linkage and then a few weeks later undoing it all as the motor then needed replacing!
Im not sure what to do next now..

thanks again

It is not a complicated job to do, you just need to have the right tools as you need to get the hub nuts off and a torque wrench that has a fairly high torque setting.

This is what my ABS brackets looked like before I replaced them https://clio197.net/threads/glacier-white-200-cup.64042/post-738505

Ahh - no worries. I'm in the south west and would've been happy to help out if you were local but no worries... As per @burrellbloke - get the garage to check the brackets that are located behind the rear discs. 9/10 this is the cause of the fault. If the brackets are rusted/gone, make sure they check the ring on the rear of the discs (they have a magnetic strip). Usually these are okay but the magnetic ring can degrade or even scrub off if the brackets are not fitted properly.

As per the above, they are cheap enough and the job is pretty straight forward - Part number for bracket; 8200618352

Hi Frank thats absolutely superb thank you for your v kind offer to help me and thanks for the info and part number, big thanks to burrell too .
right.. so a new bracket or brackets in a pair, please tell me the rings are available on their own without having to buy a new disc!?
thanks once again for your help,
best wishes stew

 

[Frank Perry]

Yep, rings are available on their own, you'll need to cut the old ones off and new ones will just pop on.

Get everything checked first though, rings on back on discs may be fine and just the brackets need replacing in most cases
