james4287 1 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 & yes i swapped the abs rings and took great care not to damage them in anyway.Vag-com'd it and it says:00287 - abs wheel speed sensor rear right g44 04-10mechanical malfunction intermittant.I guess i'm going to have to strip it all down again and see whats what but any common faults? i'm wondering if a lump of rust has stuck to the senser while i've had the disk off? is this possible and could it cause this code?I've checked wheel speed readings and rear right isn't doing anything.However, once i did the discs and pads i drove approx 2miles with no issues. now once i clear the code it comes back on after driving about 300 yards????any ideas folks??

bungy 2 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Seems to me like you've already diagnosed it yourself and it needs another looking at to check it out properly. Probably not what you wanted to hear though. Link to post Share on other sites

james4287 1 Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 well, the ring wouldn't stay on the back of the disc becuase as one point it was catching on the senser. So i've filed the ring down in this one spot so it clears the senser 100%. i suspect i've bent it removing it from the old disc but am reluctant to bend it back incase it breaks, but so far so good.(although, i haven't driven it today, lol) Link to post Share on other sites
