Hey, Has anyone replaced a abs sensor on a audi a4? On the old sensor the cable had snapped so I have replaced the sensor but the abs light is still on and, although I haven't tested to see if the wheels lock up, I'm assuming the abs wont work... any ideas/ help?  Rich |

You need a code reader. It has OBD features, make use of them  Might just need to code clearing. |

I'd be looking to find someone with VAG-COM and the relevant interface for it to work with your car. It should pinpoint down what else is the issue. Alternatively you could go around checking the resistance of the remaining sensors on the car.

A HEX-CAN cable will definitely work according to Ross Tech. Cheap however it is not!
Saying that, it was worth the cash on my Pissat with the errors it was causing and in diagnosing issues.
