A6 1999 2.8q ABS Help

[thejimrose]

hey iain -  i would pull the cv and see if you've nicked or bent the
toothed abs ring on the end of the axle shaft. ime they're really easy
to damage when removing / reinstalling.

'toothed ring' actually isn't the best description, it's more like a
band with windows cut in it that slips over the end of the axle, into
the hub.  you'll know it when you see it. it's what the abs sensor is
sensing.

Any ideas what's up??? The new sensor isn't oem audi it came from a german parts specialist all the plugs were the same and fits great, the only thing i can think of is that maybe i have grease and dirt on the abs ring on the driveshaft.
