AFFECTED VEHICLES:

DESCRIPTION:
P1 cars, up to and including MY2005, have a separate ABS cable connected between front ABS Sensor and front harness.

As from MY2006 onwards, this cable is integrated in the front harness

Service: If on a MY2006 (or later) P1 or 2007 and later P3, the wiring to the front ABS Sensor is damaged, ABS cable P/N 30746040 can be used as a repair cable instead of replacing the complete front harness.





MATERIAL:

METHOD:

^ Cut off the damaged portion of the original wheel speed sensor cable from the harness inside the engine bay,

^ Cut off the connector at the car harness end of the replacement cable as close to the end as possible.

^ Install replacement cable at the wheel speed sensor and route the cable along the original location using it as a guide.

^ Find a suitable location for the splice and cut the cable accordingly.

^ Splice the cables together as in: VIDA., Cleaning, inspection and adjustment / Electrical system/ Cables and fuses, Cables

Note: After performing the repair, take care for correct routing and fixation of the ABS cable to assure that no interference between cable and wheel is possible.
