And ABS sensor ? This was the reason that the car was cutting out when I was testing Craigs chip.

Oh and injector 4 is leaking and it is blowing past the injector.

CV Grease is thicker in the cold weather and could be highlighting existing wear? It's happened on a couple of 924's...

Strangley enough, dad just lost the sensor on my one back home. He has blamed it on lumps of snow hitting the sensor maybe the same with you?

Meebies, £569 for the shaft and £77 for the sensor, chuck in 4.5 hours estimated labour and you have £1200.

Thank the lord for small mercies & AA P&L.

Just got the car back. Was the ABS sensor that was damaged and due to diff type of metal had fused to the rear drive shaft hence the whole lot needed to go.

The PITA is the ignition barrel is now not too happy with life and as "the key is laser etched" only MB dealers can sort.
