ABS Sensor fault

[Soph]

My ABS sensor on the drivers rear right needs replacing but finding the right one is proving difficult, we're presuming this one below is the correct one as it doesn't say its not for the cars equipped with ASR. Could anyone help?

Get one off a breaker, try RenParts or Llewellyn.

Yes we use them all the time

Posted yesterday in another topic (on iPad - not sure how to link it), so it seems as though there is another option rather than the £150 Renault part

I stumped up £120 for a new one from one of the renault dealers on here after another euro crap parts shambes.

Renault only iirc, was told by MicKPM at Diamond Motors not to buy from eBay or anything as they arent the right ones...

 

[mossyv6]

Why are DTM saying they use the eurocarppart ones?

 

[r0ss172]

As i said its just from memory... could be wrong

 

[MicKPM]

Try an ECP one on a 182. Even the Bosch ones are wrong.

thanks for confirming my sanity Mick

The euro car parts one (bosch) comes with a female electrical connector instead of a male, and cannot be secured into place as the connector only fits in upside down :-/ I'm not sure how they actually get away it tbh

 

[MicKPM]

Sometimes with these things you just have to "pay what you owe" as the saying goes.

RUK part works perfectly (and lasts) or you can buy a complete used rear hub and swap that over (as the sensors never come out intact)

Because they do??? :/

 

[Andyrg@ ClioTurbo]

I'm telling you now they are a direct fitment. No wrong plugs etc, I'll get a part number

 

[mossyv6]

Andy, wasn't saying you/DTM was a liar mate, I was confident in my quote from DTM, hence me asking again.

If you can get the part number that would be brilliant thanks.

 

[mossyv6]

Just a quick update for people searching this, the eurocarparts one does fit, even has the same renault part number on it.

this is the near side rear:

 

[MicKPM]

Nice one, it's about time they were available for less though. Did a rear pair myself today and it's a right faff of a job.

 

[Feirny]

Thought you'd have fitted it by now mossy

 

[mossyv6]

Tomorrow morning job mate, thanks for all the help today and the good price you did me

Mick any tips for doing it pal?

 

[MicKPM]

Make sure you get the right sensor in the right hub because once they're in they ain't coming out again lol

Short length = NSR
Long length = OSR

 

[mossyv6]

How did you get them out, I have already tried to get the screw out and that has chewed the screw head up already

 

[MicKPM]

Personally I use an impact wrench with a decent T30 but one I did yesterday didn't want to play and spun so I had to turn it into a T40 which worked.

Failing that use a grinder on the head and a stud remover on the rest and replace the screw (not that you actually need the screws cos it's a TIIIIIGHT fit)

 

[mossyv6]

Thanks for your help Mick, I will give it a go.

 

[MicKPM]

Don't break the cast by hitting it hard... you won't get one anywhere for a day or three if you do.
