Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • My third Passat

    My third VW is a passat Alltrack and it has a tyre pressure monitor alarm, a stability control alarm and an ASB alarm, it was initially diagnosed, (by a non VW stealer), as the RH rear ABS sensor.
    after Changing the said sensor with an NTK equivalent unit as genuine VW unit would be available in 6 months,
    there was no data from the sensor during a live data drive test.
    subsequently all sensors have been subjected to resistance check and all are showing the same readings and appropriate voltages.
    Are there any suggestions as to the next steps

    Did you check for bias voltage? I think it should be 12v on one side and 1 - 3v on the other side.
    Also, check for damage to the ABS tone ring below the sensor.

    The next step would be hooking up a scope to the sensor and checking if the waveform looks correct.

    Here is a really good video on testing these sensors.

    Have you got the part number handy, when my rear sensor went out it was a ATE part number.
