Sooo.. i go to fix my ABS..

[BS87]

Well, i figured out my ABS wasn't working on the front wheels, because 1 sensor was unplugged, and 1 was missing. I got some sensors off a junkyard E30, and i jacked mine up to throw them on.

What the fuck? There's no slot for the ABS sensor. However, right where there should be, there is a flat, raised surface in the exact shape of the ABS sensor flange thing.

This makes no sense, the only possible thing i could think of is that the car was in a major front end collision requiring the replacement of both front strut tubes.

Can anyone tell me where the part numbers are on the housing so i can look them up (Or any identifying marks).

no idea, but the guy prolly did his own repairs and pulled them off an e30 without abs.

you only have 1 abs sensor per end of the car.

drivers front, passenger rear.

[kowalski]

no, you have an abs sensore on each brake, you have 1 brake sensor on each end of the car, those tell you when your pads where out, they're usless.

no you dont.

2 abs sensors per car.
as stated above.


E30's are archaic automobiles. one per end, not like new cars with 4 independent abs sensors.

and you also only have 2 brake pad wear sensors.

Are you absolutely sure?
On the e30's I've worked on with ABS there has been a sensor on both sides up front, and the ETK comes up with both a left and right side sensor.
That's for the front at least, I've never had to deal with the rear ABS, nor am I even sure if e30's have rear ABS.

its an iX.
who cares...... :P

It's almost like it's an aftermarket piece... Because the raised portion is right where the ABS sensors go, just flat with no holes... the pre-ABS cars don't have the raised portion, i'm pretty sure. I'll try and take a picture sometime this week.

You still have this problem?

I just pulled my strut housings off and they have the openings for the sensors.
