ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Post by hat004 »

I need to change the ABS wheel speed sensor on my Scirocco. Looking on line these sensors are priced from £6 to £60. Has anyone bought one of these sensors on line and does anyone know why the prices of these sensors vary so much?

I replace my offside rear sensor after using VcDS to identify the culprit. I bought a Bosch one from Euro Car Parts in the sale for around £30. Worth noting that you may have to replace the speed sensor ring/wheel hub also (I did) again identified that by running live diagnostics and watching a regular drop out which coincided with missing part of the sensor ring when the wheel was turning.

Hope this helps
