Replace G3 ABS sensor

Hi,

After a friend with a faulty ABS sensor on his Ibiza visited me, it seems like the problem has now affected my Golf -> the ABS warning light is on.

How quickly and easily can the sensor be replaced?

Subject: ABS request for A61 track day this weekend.

I'm planning to go to the A61 track this weekend and would like to request ABS (which is always useful there!). However, I only have a short window of time available on Saturday afternoon, if at all.

Can you complete the swap in 30 minutes (without a lift, using a jack)?

Thank you.

Hello.

I think the wheel bearings need to be removed, but that's just a guess.
extremely vague memory...

...so, really, with absolutely no guarantee.

Wheel bearing gone?

I can't imagine that. The wheel bearings would have to come out completely to replace the rotor.

I want to replace the sensor that is screwed into the RL housing.

If the sensors are not stuck in the wheel bearing housing, it shouldn't be a problem.

- Jack up.
- Flat tire.
- Disconnect the plug.
- Loosen the screw (I think it's an M5 Allen key).
- Remove the old sensor from the wheel bearing housing.

-new, everything's back on, ready to go.

Hello,

Let's assume that you have a sensor on the rear axle that is failing. Replacing it isn't quite as difficult as it is on the front axle .

Remove the old sensor from the wheel bearing housing .

'Forcing it out somehow' would probably be a more accurate description.

I had to really force mine out because they were stuck in the bore. Afterwards, I used a Dremel or something similar to grind away the rust from the bore, and possibly used a magnet to 'suck up' any metal shavings near the toothed ring. Then, I installed the new one. Without grinding, the new one would be very difficult to insert and remove, and I was afraid of damaging the new sensor during installation, so I preferred to grind everything away.
But, in my opinion, half an hour is not enough.
