As I said earlier, I’m always happy to help! What a nice thing that you made video about that rear sensor since it’s quite difficult to make fit right. Name is Sami BTW. I offered you CX starter in your CX video. If you don’t have a replacement yet you can have it if it fits. My mail address is in my channel. Happy new year to you!

I think you'll be fine with that sensor. If you're not getting enough voltage from it, you can always try moving it closer. Remember, magnetism diminishes by the square of the distance. So, as you get closer, even very small changes to the distance will increase the voltage substantially. I can't tell you how much I respect your decision not to be robbed of over 800 Euros! I love all of your XM videos, such a great car!

ABSolutely perfect solution. Who would guess that watching an led blink could be so gripping!

You say you're not very good at electrics? Looks like you're pretty good to me. Great soloution.

When using silicone sealant to weatherproof electrical connections, make sure to use an Acid Free type, as an off-the-shelf type (such as bathroom sealant) contains acetic acid which can corrode metal parts such as the terminals or wires in a connector or soldered joint, something you don't want in the long term... :S

Although the UK is no longer in the EU there can be no ABS fault codes showing on the dash. The ABS must work. All too often it's the sensor. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work . . Kevin

Brilliant nice to see proper diy instead of just replacing parts.

Hi Seppo I am a retired electronics engineer, unfortunately in England. If I lived near you I would come around to help you fix any electrical or electronic problems. Best wishes to your family for the new year.

Fantastic result, so happy to see the error codes gone, 😎👍. Wishing you and your family the very best for 2024.

Smartest kid on the block. Fair play.

Fast becoming my favorite YT destination. Happy New Year Sir!👍👍

04:07 the most satisfying sound

Well done. I hope XMDaily links to this fix on his website. Look forward to the road test. I had a Nissan Primera and although I didn't have problems there could be a fault which triggered the ABS light. It could be caused by the bolt which held the sensor bracket getting a build up of rust under it. The rust expansion could move the sensor away from the reluctor ring and cause the ABS to fail. Simple fix to clean things up and reset the position. Possible with a slightly thicker washer.

Brilliant great job allways disheartening when the part is unavailable all the best for 2024 John a friend from Scotland

That's really good news, glad you got it fixed. there are great people offering help and advice, hope the test drive goes ok.

That old one that in bits looks like an 2002 abs sensor for a VW Passat, has that metal tube thing,

Well done 👍🏻 great deduction and reasoning and adaptation 😁, best of all I fantastic saving 😉, Happy New Year to you & family and really enjoyed all your videos this year and past ones.

I love how resourceful you are, well done.

Very well done Seppo! You are a clever man. Have a very Happy New Year! 🎉

Kudos to you for not giving up when you saw the replacement part was 800 Euros, and for using your ingenuity to adapt another low-cost part to fit and perform the same function! Many other people would have given up. Also, kudos to Denmark for insisting that cars originally equipped with an ABS braking system have that system operational and without trouble codes as part of passing its MOT inspection! We need these strict safety inspection standards in the USA. I could roll a car with bald 20-year-old tires, bad brakes and no lights in for its California bi-annual emissions inspection, and so long as it passed the emissions test, register it with the DMV for on-road and highway use.

Godt Nytår 😊

Well done on the sensor...

Fantastic result Seppo, happy new year.

Well done sir! I very much look forward to seeing you test drive it!

Bra jobbat och gott nytt år👍

I'm in exactly the same situation with my 1991 Toyota Celica GT. They're unobtainable new and the only source is used one on eBay costing over £100. I beleive that something from the Toyota/Lexus parts bin will fit but I don't have a definitive answer despite asking on the Celica Club UK forum. Your video has given me food for thought. In the UK it is the same with our MoT. If the ABS light is illuminated it will fail the test.

great fix! Congrats!

Great job. If it's a magnetic style sensor it will probably be fine. The voltage seen by the abs system might be a problem if it's too low (too far from the teeth). That's my electrical engineer assumption.

Well done!

Another great one Seppo... I'd stick with 'sticks out' rather than 'protrude'..😂 I was born, bred and have lived in Wales all my life and your English is still better than my Welsh.!. Keep these great videos coming in 2024. Thanks for your knowledge, information and entertainment over 2013.. God new year..(I don't know what 'new year' is in Danish.. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Fantastic to know mk.3 golf sensors are compatible... very reassuring.

Brilliant - very well done!!

Nice work!!!!

Wohoooo great content!!!🎉 Happy New Year Seppo! Looking forward to all the adventures in 2024

Congratulations on a job well done. Have a Happy New Year to you and your family.

Brilliant! Well done 👏 Happy New Year to you 🎉

Great fix, Seppo! Happy new year!

Great stuff- well done.

Nice work as usally!

Du formår at formidle hvor fedt det kan være at løse problemer med sin bil istedet for bare at smide ud / betale sig fra det. Har selv filet en ABS sensor til så den passede i min mors octavia :D God vind og godt nytår!

Seppo, at the 13:15 mark when you test if the wires are broken, did you also verify that they weren't shorted somewhere? To me it's good practice both to verify that intended connections are there, but also that not intended connections are not there 😊

Super job

850 Euro for a ABS sensor to a XM.. Peugeot 605 cost like 15 Euro at AutoDoc and in my country its the same part number on Peugeot and Citroen..

Det bliver spændende at se hvad en prøvetur eller tre viser af resultat. So far: Godt arbejde min gode herre. ..og godt nytår 🙂

Så vidt, så godt. 👍

ATE, the blue sensors are much cheaper than the BENDIX green sensor, I changed a year ago to my XM, the front sensor cost 37 eu.

Jeg husker da du krydsede 5000. Det går fremad:) Godt nyt år.

I wonder if this method works on a BX too.... EDIT: One thing I would tecommend you do, is crimp a proper VAG connector on the cable instead of bodging it like that with soldering and sealant. I don't think MOT man would be happy if he saw that .

Du bør sætte en donkraft under den ene side, med bilen i høj stilling. Sætte bilen i lav. Det ser vanvittigt ud når hjulene løfter sig fra gulvet.

Hvad er det for en lift du har ?

Så er den vel klar til syn? 😄

Up n down has an Sm? 😂😂
