#1: 2 problems :( Author: adamb, Location: MansfieldPosted: Mon Jul 01, 2013 12:18 pm ---- Right mot is due on the 20th so need to sort the car.
First off I have a light saying abs problem, I think the problem is the sensor in the p.s drum, I changed the brakes all round and this drum had worn through the lining and into the metal. So the abs sensor was covered in metal filings. I cleaned as much of the filings off as I could but the fault says is still there. All rings are fine I'm sure. Will the error stay if there is the smallest amount of metal left on the sensor? Or do I need to clear the fault codes?
Secondly, anti pollution fault flashes up all the time due to me forgetting to remount the exhaust on the bushes doh. So does anyone know the dimensions of the flexi piece of the exhaust before the cat.
Car is an 02 2.0hdi.
Thanks
In advance

#3: Re: 2 problems :( Author: adamb, Location: MansfieldPosted: Mon Jul 01, 2013 2:14 pm ---- Will the sensor say a fault again if for example there is the smallest amount of metal left on? When I cleaned it I couldn't see the sensor from the amount of filings on it!
#4: Re: 2 problems :( Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Tue Jul 02, 2013 1:11 am ---- You'd gave to see, check the faults would be the best way to diagnose the fault.
#5: Re: 2 problems :( Author: adamb, Location: MansfieldPosted: Tue Jul 02, 2013 6:17 am ---- I know for certain that abs problem is due to the sensor originally being covered in metal fillings, however I thought it may clear itself if I cleaned them may try clean them again of not I'll sort the codes.
#6: Re: 2 problems :( Author: eddie206, Posted: Tue Jul 02, 2013 9:09 am ---- Youve been given the advice you asked for and completely ignored it...
Say no more.
#7: Re: 2 problems :( Author: adamb, Location: MansfieldPosted: Tue Jul 02, 2013 12:13 pm ---- I haven't ignored it. I understand I need to get the codes cleared but I don't want to clear them and pay £30? For them to say there are still filings on and have to pay another £30 after.
I asked a second question of what happens if the abs sensor has a small amount of metal on it? Will it throw the code up again. Does the sensor need to be spotless.
Thanks for your comment anyway
#8: Re: 2 problems :( Author: crocdino, Location: LeedsPosted: Tue Jul 02, 2013 12:55 pm ---- When I had an abs problem the light cleared as soon as the problem was fixed. In one case a new ring, another time a new sensor... never had the codes cleared, never had the light come back..
#9: Re: 2 problems :( Author: adamb, Location: MansfieldPosted: Tue Jul 02, 2013 12:58 pm ---- Ok will have to strip it down and try clean it again.
Any reccomendations on getting metal off a magnet? Haha

I have BUT it will in turn ruin the ABS sensor

I have 3 garages within 3 miles of me that charge just a tenner,
If an ABS light on dash came on say, they would scan it and say what the fault is, job done £10, am i fortunate or are people getting ripped off.

#16: Re: 2 problems :( Author: eddie206, Posted: Wed Jul 03, 2013 5:02 pm ---- I think it will vary depending how you look and what you wear and say...for instance if you turn up in overalls that are used you will likely get a better price than if you had turned up in a suit and tie talking on your mobile and looking flash..
The overalls can qualify you for trade price parts often aswell..especialy if there's a trade logo on them...but im not suggesting charging some companys account..thats bad news..
#17: Re: 2 problems :( Author: adamb, Location: MansfieldPosted: Wed Jul 10, 2013 12:21 pm ---- Right little update and hope to pick some brains
Eml has been turned off by resetting I bought a new cat pipe and cat and swapped it. Fixed all good.
However for the abs fault it threw up a code 0120 any thoughts on this? It just said unknown on his machine. But then said the wheel speed was reading 9km/h on the rear and 0 on the front(car was stationary Lol) Also said something about track 2 I think
Thinking back the abs light came on after the battery had run down and the recovery used a jump starter pack and then the light came on.

A very good way to potentially fry the BSI unit & do all sorts of damage to the digital electrical system.

Ignorance 1. What's the bsi? ")
#21: Re: 2 problems :( Author: adamb, Location: MansfieldPosted: Wed Jul 10, 2013 3:01 pm ---- Thanks for the info.
Does anyone know anymore about the code 0120? For the abs?
Could it be a bad connection or a broken cable? Not sure why its reading 9km/h at stationary tho?
#22: Re: 2 problems :( Author: Hawkers, Location: Norwich, United KingdomPosted: Wed Jul 10, 2013 3:07 pm ---- P0120 Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Malfunction
#23: Re: 2 problems :( Author: adamb, Location: MansfieldPosted: Wed Jul 10, 2013 4:19 pm ---- I found this but why would it be saying the rear wheel speed of 9km/h?
But if it is that how do I fix it. He got all the data up and then pressed the pedal but the diagnostics was saying the pedal was not being pressed. Is there just a simple screw in sensor on top or is somewhere else?
Thanks
Edit* also why would it be the throttle position sensor for the brake pedal?
