Do-it-Yourself Tip
The VW ABS sensor is a critical component to your vehicles driving system. If your Volkswagen has ESP, the sensors relay information to the computer so that it can make adjustments according to the conditions you are driving in. If you want to know exactly what is wrong with your ABS system without going to the dealer you need a VAG-COM scan tool to read the fault codes and start diagnosing from there. This ABS sensor on the Jetta, Golf, and Cabrio is triggered by the ring around the wheel hub assembly shown below.
