Rear ABS sensors
Hi ive just bought an 04 plate 1.6 206cc . the abs light is on , rear sensors , ordered two new sensors and went to fit but for some reason they wont fit , the old sensors were just pushed in and not bolted .. it looks like the previous owner had some work done on the rear braking system , possibly new abs rings .. Is there a variant on the abs rings ?? the ones on there now seem to stop the sensor from sitting in properly ??

Re: Rear ABS sensors
The rear abs rings are the magnetic type on your car. Reluctor ring type pick ups wont work.

Re: Rear ABS sensors
Just updating my post , found out from previous owner that a refurbished rear axle was fitted , thing is it had the wrong hubs on it ,so sourcing the correct hubs was quite easy as my local scrapyard hard a front damaged 206cc 20 mins and the hubs were in my possession , fitted to my 206 and bingo problem solved
