No luck in Peugeot,so will try here.Must be the same for Xantia`s/C5`s?
Just had the ABS code read on my 406.I need a new l/h drive shaft.The Peugeot main dealer has quoted £252 all in to replace,inc d/shaft,gaiters & g/box oil.After costing it my self,it comes to £130 ish.
My question is,if i do it myself,will the ABS light have to be reset,or will the ecu detect no fault & clear itself??
The dealer charged £40 for the fault code,around £10-£25 cheaper than the 4 French indies in Bristol!
Also,seem to have a slight diesel leak around the fuel injector on the l/h side,nearest the camshaft.Looks like the sealing ring/fire ring???
Is that a fairy easy fix?Looks like a few pipes to remove,but access is great.
Cheers,Neil.
Any thoughts in here??

Hi Neil.
You can try disconnecting your battery for a while then reconnecting it to try to reset the light, but if not then unfortunately it does cost around £40 for a plug in nowadays.
Ridiculous really as its so easy to turn a light off....I used to do them for free on customer's VW's back in the day
Can i just ask, why do you need a complete shaft if your ABS light is on? has the ring disintegrated? If so then surely a second hand unit would be better value?

as Vince says why do you need a drive shaft, i had a car in a while back were the ABS ring had just become un/welded from the CV joint, i just welded it back on,
even if the ABS ring is beyond fixing/weldding you might just get away with replaceing just the CV joint,
i cant remember what car it was but the light did not go out after turnning the ingnition on,
so i called my freind (local auto electrics guy) to ask if that make of car needed to have the ABS ECU reset he said he was not sure but i could drop by and he would plug it in, i drove the car along my yard to head off to get it pluged in and bongo the light went out,

Well i clamped the abs ring in place,cleaned up abs sensor,but still the light wont go out.Gave up,thinking i`ll have to replace the cv joint,as i also striped 1 tooth off the abs ring.
Had to also sort out my handbrake as its a bit poor.Noticed i had a funny noise from inside the rear disk(handbrake shoes inside rear disk)removed it all to find the handbrake shoe retaining pin & spring had come out.While it had been rattling around inside,its striped 2 teeth off the abs sensor ring
Now looks like i need 1 front cv joint,1 rear wheel hub & 2 lts of g/box oil.£91 from ECP`s.

All fixed.Replaced front cv joint but light was still on.Replaced rear hub assy,new rear abs sensor as the tip was broken from the screw rattling around.Drove off & within 100 yrds the abs light went off & all is well.
Just the over jobs tomorrow now.Peugeot forum updated.
