Bahnstormer Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Ok as above the speedo in my car isn't working. Also, the ABS and ASC lights are permanently lit. I've already tried new speed sensors, but still no joy. Does anyone know where all of the speed sensor connections are? Obviously I already know about the ones under the car, but I mean are there more in the car somewhere that I should check? Or does anyone have any other suggestions? It's really starting to irritate me lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_D Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 rear n/s sensor is the one the feeds the speedo by 'new' sensors do you mean brand new or (new to you) used ones? on my wife's 106 GTi a few years ago that was showing up with ABS faults, changed all the sensors, turned out to be the ABS pump & control unit get a diagnostic done so you know what you are dealing with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blair Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 As said passenger rear wheel sensor controls the speedo it runs to the abs module & is then sent via canBus to the instrument cluster. There are 2 tyres of sensor so make sure you have used the right kind, presume you have checked your fuses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahnstormer Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Yep brand new from BMW, ordered using the VIN number, so I'm assuming they're the right ones. Checked the fuses too, they're all ok. Looks like I'll be taking it to BMW then.......might stop to buy myself some lube on the way...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blair Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) All it needs is a diagnostic plenty of garage & forum users can do it for you Edited January 28, 2012 by Blair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mit Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 My touring has this problem. Turns out it's a bent axle (was hoping it was just a wheel sensor)! I just ordered 2 off ebay for £110! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
