Another question for you all.
Where would be the best place to start looking for an ABS sensor for a 19 GTi?
I am determined to bring this car back up to scratch!!

Many sensors in fact are repairable as the lead fails. Examine the lead for any damage which may give a clue where the break is, cut the lead and see if you have a circuit between the centre core and the screen. On mine for some reason the outer insulation had become porous and allowed the screen to corrode. I found sound cable and soldered in co-ax cable with a flexible core.
Incidentally you probably won't be able to get the rear ones out without damaging them. I repaired both of mine in situ and one is still working more than 5 years later.

Thanks all. I am going to spend the weekend working on the car, see if I can put it back on the road. I am planning a trip to France in September and would rather take the Bx with me than the other car. I thought I might get it serviced while there. Anybody had any experience of this? Surely the French would be more au fait?
