Abs Light On.

[asohotra]

The ABS light came on the other day did a VAGCOM check this is what came up:

 

00285 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor; Front Right (G45)

             008 - Implausible Signal - Intermittent

00285 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor; Front Right (G45)

             003 - Mechanical Failure - Intermittent

 

Any ideas what this means?

most likely a broken reluctor ring - take a look at the end of the driveshaft there will be a toothed ring on it, I'd guess it has a crack on it and will require replacement. You should be able to pick one up off ebay etc rather than replacing the whole joint or shaft. Shouldn't be more than a few quid.

And it tells you which wheel in the message so that saves a lot of guesswork!
