BIG help needed- rear ABS sensor!

[ripp]

For two hour I'm on the phone with various suppliers and no joy.
Renault have discontinued to make this part, ATE appears to have done the same. Where am I supposed to find the damn thing? It's a 2005 car not 1958 ffs (

found this thread

post #45 tells that a company named Triscan makes these sensors, is this correct?

 

[JB21]

Which side?

 

[ripp]

passenger side for uk cars (mine is EU so driver's side for me but you get the idea)

 

[JB21]

Take your pick...

Read mine and steves last few posts on the Renault vs Bosch thread.

Triscan is the one and as far as I'm aware can only be got from Germany. Mine took a week to come and was about 38 plus 8 delivery

There is loads of websites selling the triscan but they are all the same company called auto doc.

This is the one I bought for the drivers side

I'd take a tight CV joint over a loose one any day of the week.

Remember you could always get a rear stub axel from eBay with sensor attached. Much easier than bashing out the old sensor as well.

Well.... the guy that promised me the ate sensor just gave my money back as his supplier canceled his order...... The triscan sensor is nowhere to be found either, it's out of stock everywhere on multiple autoparts stores across EU and UK also.
FInding a second hand part is virtually impossible where I live, and getting smth from ebay is a bit of a risc as you can't be sure it's in working order untill you plug it to the car.
Was thinking about taking the sensor out and see if by any chance a electrician could do some magic and fix it, is it a pain to get it out? never had the chance to see how it looks down there
This really begins to bug me how come virtually NO ONE is making this thing? man this sucks big time

That's drivers side Steve, think he's after the passenger side (UK passenger side) which does appear to be out of stock.

Wish people would stick to LH & RH, as I read drivers side, but now realise the car is LHD.

The RH is currently available, with twice the length of wiring of the LH.

One side has a male connector, and the other a female, but It would not take a great deal of ingenuity to work out how to connect 2 wires together on the LH

side.

 

[STEVE.M]

The prices seem to taken a hike, but these are now available again.

or still better

[hipwell]

Wow, the prices have gone up! I'm sure I only paid about 35 quid plus shipping.

I'm half tempted to replace the side which I didn't change last time as it seems inevitable that it will go anyway while they are in stock.

They are still are around £ 35 in Germany, but for some reason, eBay sellers want a ridiculous £23 or so for postage to the UK.

I was half tempted to contact Triscan for a price for 10 of each to help you guys out, but thought better of it, as the 1st guy that has misdiagnosed his

fault, will claim it`s faulty, and I can`t be doing with hassle.

Yet I know what you mean mate.

I did hear a rhumor that ktec had done something similar but that was a few months ago now.

I can't fault the triscan product though, quality felt way better than non genuine stuff I had in the past on other cars.

I will revisit the page that claimed that the original ATE items will be available for despatch on January 8th, but suspect the date will just move forward.

Those show a female connector. My Trophy is male.

**ah wait second one is female**

Price has been reduced to £35 ish a side too.

Will this ABS sensor work with 172 2002 with esp? I need one on left side.

[hipwell]

That appears to be the correct part number yes, I got the other side from autodoc and the fit was perfect.

 

[DriftKing]

i have left hand drive clio, is there any difference in sensor?

Not sure, probably not as even if the abs unit is on the opposite side, the sensors still plug in at the back axel anyway, but I'm not too sure to be honest

 

[DriftKing]

Ok, will check if the length of cable match.

What's wrong with the abs sensor anyway?

Not been damaged by an incorrectly spaced rear disc has it?

 

[DriftKing]

I don't know, it's splitted in 4 ways 😂
