00283 - 00283 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor Front Left

[Ronin]

Has anyone had this on their D2?

In my case the error comes up with the car stationary and ignition on, and after clearing it in VCDS it comes back instantly.

Disconnecting the sensor also doesn't affect the error. It comes up instantly and can't be cleared.

The odd thing is that in ABS measuring blocks the front left wheel speed reporting matches the other 3 wheel (so the sensor is reading the wheel speed correctly)
I have inspected the wiring and its all good.

I've tried to remove the sensor but after undoing the bolt the sensor is rust-welded to the hub.

The phonic gear wheel is fine and has been inspected around a month ago when the CV boot was replaced.

Tomorrow I'll have a go at the sensor again with a hammer and a chiesel... new sensor costs crazy money (£207 on tradition) so if its that I'll be looking to replace it with something fom a vauxhall vectra or similar as the sensors are the same and 8% the price..
