haha, you old fart :lol: but what is this Radio1 you speak of? 2&4 are the only ones where my ears can actuallly make anything out!

looking good there. noce little slalom round the shed should fix your reversing skills... :lol: are you moving it to the other side? did you not have a reinforced approach ramp put in as well, up to where the door will be?

same error code different description. tester model is shown on the pic too Chris

ran some live data capture, and the sensor provides wheel speed values. so at least that is working, and presumably proves the ring is fine too. had another search around, and the abs controllers are very prone to failure on quite a lot of vw models. ao am presuming now that the controller input for that wheel, or a specific part of the loom is at fault. the way my luck goes, been a lifelong affliction, :-/

finally got the rest of the old sensor out. put the new sensor in. scan clear scan and codes gone. drive down the road, a different error message on same wheel and sensor. 'sensor display no indication' so i presume not reading off the ring? or some other fault to track down. sigh.

that certainly does bring the years crashing down a little, :lol: thanks Mike, i always smile when i see that. i still have club clothing with that logo on ;-)

Hi, Has any new member sent a subscription payment direct by bank transfer around the 13th March, but has not been enabled on the forum? Send me confirmation of the reference you used that appears on the statement, and we will get your membership status changed. Have not been able to match the reference details to any of the recent usernames or email addresses. Thanks, Craig

we dont actually have a club gazebo, and i dont have one myself either, although i might have by then

i didn't vote either way, and i will not complain about either camp because of that. to me it was always a 50/50 in terms of pros and cons, so i was willing to accept the outcome either way, as both outcomes would be challenging for the country in different ways. i think this pretty much sums up the complexity of Europe, Eurozone, EU, etc. just from this diagram, you can see how difficult it would be to pick and choose the bits we do and don't want from the "union" go to the page if you want to learn the actual descriptions of what each group membership means https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Supranational_European_Bodies

I will speak with Karen this morning and confirm the details, and if we can still get a club stand will get that sorted. Tony, i assume as the club contact last time, you forwarded all of the passes out to everyone once you received them? EDIT: now spoken to Karen, and we have a club stand reserved for 12 cars plus a 3x3 gazebo, if we get one. Nearer the time, i will have to confirm exact number

What reference did you use please, so I know it's yours when I see it. Edit: Don't worry, found it, matches your name on email. Thank you.

I applied for club stand using the form, but Karen emailed me back to say it was a single vehicle application. I have asked her to clarify what i need to do next, but not see a reply yet. If you could follow up with her, that would be great. Although it might be prudent for people to apply individually anyway, and mention the club on the form.

Nice one Steve

I am sure I applied as a club, but I received a single vehicle exhibitor pass back today, so I would suggest you all apply individually, and we can meet up somewhere close and arrive together.

probably not until thursday or friday, when i am working from home and can have another go at 5pm onwards. or the weekend. until then, i dont get home until it is dark during the week.

thanks Chris, that's the bit i was hoping to avoid, but seems like not much choice really. i will then have to work on removing more of the previously untouched nuts and bolts, and possible issues with that, which is more problem than my experience can cope with. may have to find a way to get my daughters boyfriend onto the problem, i am sure i can find some leverage with him :lol:

haha yes, the diagram was left side, but the photo and problem is the driver side, thanks Chris(bas). If the remaining part of the sensor is now effectively through the slot, and the inside part is no longer there, how is it still "hanging on"? If while carefully drilling through the slot and into what is left of the sensor, part of the sensor falls into the hub void, do i need to worry about that, or will it eventually works its way out of the 1-2 mm gap around the drive shaft?

i run out of knowledge and ability really quickly when something doesn't go to plan though Chris :lol: plus i only have weekends. like, what do i do if the track rod end just starts to spin when i try and undo it, without having a bunch of other tools that i dont own. here is a pic of progress so far.... I think the "hole" turns into a "slot" further in, and i think i have reached that point. i think i have also now got a metal element of the sensor, rather than just plastic casing, to try and drill into

sorted this morning for you cozza

Got a screw into it, wouldn't budge, screw broke off inside. Grr. Managed to melt some of the remaining plastic to get some grips on and remove the broken screw thread. Drilled some of it out, dug some out, broke a drill bit in there too, and still not got all of it out. Grr. Just absolutely destined to fail on this. :cursing: Now to decide whether to start taking the whole assembly off, track rod end, calipers, brake line, mounting bolts, wheel hub, or just put the wheel back on and take it to a garage and let them fix my **** up, assuming it still drives ok. The fault makes it keep locking the brake when trying to read the sensor, but not sure if I have pushed anything further into the hub now.

Is that your recent remodelling? I like what you've done with your place Andrew :lol:

thanks Chris, that "some other way" is the method i am aiming/looking for :lol: the plastic end sticking out is about 5mm long, since it is broken where the probe attaches underneath the retaining nut collar, so the connector and collar are not there now (or will be removed once i cut the final internal cable holding them together. i will try clamping around whats left, i have some small surgical locking clamps which look like they will attach easily, and then try heating up a long thin self tapper to screw in to the end of whats left of the probe i think. Could also try heating up the hub a bit, if that helps. am sooo looking forward to this saturday job.... :no:

yes, its the "out the other side" but i am worried about Chris, as it doesn't seem there is an "out" unless i take it apart. but like i said, i will have another look with fresh eyes on saturday, and maybe a take a couple of pics if i am still worried about it disappearing, lol. maybe it would be more obvious if i take the disk off, it might expose where the end of the sensor is. i have found a diagram, part 1 is the sensor

i was worried about any part of it falling into the hub? if it loosens off then drops inwards before i can pull it out? being nothing like my day job, i can only worry about the implications of something going wrong.. :lol: I will take another look before i start drilling etc, as i might have not pictured the whole thing properly, but thats how it looked.

I am not sure I will be able to see the end of the sensor even with the disk off Graham, it seems to be inside the hub? It looked like I would have to remove the drive shaft to be able to see the end of it, but I am not completely sure. It sticks out slightly from the connector end Chris, where the connector is now broken off. If I whack it, it will disappear inside the hub I think. It's definitely not threaded, just slides in. Will be having another go at it Saturday, so have until then to draw up a plan, or entice someone over with the promise of tea and cakes, :lol:
