   Hey,
   
   My driverside ABS sensor is nackered (i suspect its this one anyway) and i need to replace it. Iv had a poke around but it seems like the sensor is on a wire which leads into the engine bay, how and where do i discnnect this wire?
   
   Does it come off the back of the sensor?
   
   I followed it with my hand and it leads to some kinda smooth plasticbox behind the wheel arch, does it come off from there?
   
   Anyone point me to a guide for doing it?
   
   Anything else to look out for changing it?
   
   Cheers

   id make sure it def is that 1 before you go replacing it
   
   they unlbolt from the hub then follow the wire and they just unclip iirc

   the front ones are universal if you remove the mounting bracket from the sensor
   
   so you can try either to find out which one is shagged unless its a rear one
   
   if you follow the wire into the box behing the arch it unplugs from in there
