| Re: 312 mm brakes fitted and:- Is it possible the ABS sensor could have been dislodged during fitting? Chris

| Briskodian | Re: 312 mm brakes fitted and:- I don't think so, but will howk the wheels off it later to check. The speedo fluctuates/ sticks at or around 30, when I accelerate, then jumps to where it should be, and the light comes on then. The ABS is definitely non functioning.

| Re: 312 mm brakes fitted and:- I'd say you've either left something unplugged or knocked/damaged the sensor.

| Re: 312 mm brakes fitted and:- The ring is a part of the driveshaft AFAIK. Steel teeth.

| Briskodian | Re: 312 mm brakes fitted and:- VAG COM says 'implausible wheel speed from front left sensor. The front left caliper carrier is rubbing on the outside of the disk as well. The front left wheel bearing was replaced last month. I wonder if it's been done properly, ie if the hub is further out than it should be, and if the rubbing and subsequent vibration has donald ducked the sensor. Is machining the carrier a safe and / or viable option or should I look at getting the bearing checked? I'm not driving it BTW. Cheers all Nick
