Where to buy wheel sensors

[Ian.H]

Hi
I have an abs vsa fault which is throwing code 17 which I believe is for the rear left wheel sensor.
Where do people think is the best place to get a replacement from ?
Has anyone had any experience (good or bad) with the cheap ones on ebay ?
Thanks in advance

I put cheapy £15 eBay ones in the front of mine. Done about 15k with them in and had no probs.

Thanks

Went for a eBay one and fitted yesterday.
To anyone doing this job I would personally say to save your self so much hassle and remove the caliper,disc and hub it's only about 8 more bolts (mine was on rear) and makes it sooooo much easier to remove sensor from the inside. I wasted a lot of time trying to get from outside and then drill out etc. Also means you are not leaving shards of plastic and metal from inside the sensor in the hub when your done.

Did my fronts and removed the hubs to do so. It's a nightmare trying to do it neatly otherwise, and like you say, doesn't take long.
