[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1131194, member: 13739"] Haven't updated this thread in a while, but still been tinkering with bits and pieces. I've been having some issues with the DSC (dynamic stability control) again recently, the light was flashing and causing the car to judder when turning right. Been running with DSC turned off for a few weeks, but not ideal as chances are the ABS wasn't active either. Some tests showed some abnomalies with the rear left wheel speed sensor (spikes in wheel speed when viewing thr live data), so ordered a replacement. Couldn't find any Bosch or ATE in stock anywhere in the UK, so had to order from Germany. There were cheap aftermarket sensors available on ebay, but sensors like that tend to be rubbish and don't last... Got to replacing it today. The old one had obvious wear to the tip which is the reason for the faults. The sesor shouldn't actually touch the reluctor ring, so likelihood is there's some rust that's deformed the reluctor ring from behind. This will need looking at sometime, but involves removing the hub, disc backplate etc. For now I've spaced the new sensor about 1mm further out with a washer to hopefully stop it from wearing, but I'll have to check in a few days if that's ok. It all works as it should for now though, so happy enough. [/QUOTE]
