abs/pad sensor wiring

[Applemobile]

i got a new n/s/f harness today for my leon, one end comes with plugs, the other end is wires that obviously need to be connected into teh old one. Anyone done this? does it matter where abouts i cut the old one, as i guess it could mess with teh resistances ect ect?

you shouldnt have to cut it at all, it should feed through to behind behind the dashboard, take out the arch lining and should be a gromit to pull out.

Behind the dash? is this going to be a bit of an epic job to fit then?

It's only a signal Sam, splice it where you like

im going to try, just to see if it work. TBH i have enjoyed having no abs, you suddenly realise how annoying it is. Although all my previous experiance with repairing abs looms is that it doesnt work. The wires work on very fine resistance tollerances, that if they are not the same as origional then it gets confused.

Ok i might be wrong

How long is the wire?

Would it end up in the car?

 

[Applemobile]

it doesnt seem long enough to reach to right up behind the dash :?:

welll on an a3 it is a case of taking out the arch lining and feeding though a gromit to behind the dash, in your case drop the glovebox out and behind there i would of thought

If you have to chop and join the wires the length will make very little difference compared to the method and quality of the join. That said, I wouldn't imagine them giving very sensitive resistance wiring as a repair kit.
