abs problem 2wd saff cosworth
hey guys, recently changed the driverside front hub on my 2wd cosworth & tryed to get the abs sensor out but ended up breaking it in process. i had a spare sensor from a 4x4 sapphire cosworth so fitted it & now abs light comes on. it goes out as normal when i start the car but when i drive it & brake the pedal kicks back then the abs light comes on. any ideas? is the 4x4 sensor different in any way or could it be the abs ring? thanks.

Turned out the sensor wasnt pushed fully home into the hub, even though the bolt was fully tightened the o-ring needed forcing down.
I too broke it getting it out which is where the problem all started!
i was driving it for a while like that and couldnt believe what it was when i actually got round to looking at it

It looks ok Marty, I assumed it was that sensor because that's the 1 I was working at & the abs was perfect before hand. What would u recommend to clean it? I've already tried wd40 last week. Il try taking it out again tomorrow for a look at that o ring crocodile hunter. Thanks for the help lads.

I used brake cleaner to clean my sensors.I also got a screw driver and cleaned the gaps between the teeth with the screwdriver.
I cant belive the price of these sensors to buy new.
