Is it feasible to replace an abs sensor to abs module plug cable with two core cable soldered in at both ends to the original wires?

I believe I found the culprit. The abs cable from the module to the sensor plug. Although I did voltage tests and the same on both sides, I've done continuity for each side cable. With battery disconnected and the abs sensor plugs shorted, I measured at the abs module plug. The LH was 0Ω...

I fitted an Apec brand rear sensor to my own Bora TDI last week and that put the abs light out. With the one I'm on with now, I swapped the Apec sensor for a Delphi brand - the problem persists. I've checked both side cables off the battery terminals, live to - and ground to +. The reading...

Sadly the front sensors are handed. I fitted an Apec brand sensor and although now owned by NAPA, presumably still a quality parts source? Apec part no ABS1005 front right and ABS1004 front left.

The code is 00285

The hub, inc reluctor ring, was replaced four years ago due actual damage to the old ring. I checked it whilst doing the sensor. Its the fact that the abs warning is flickering that bothers me.

2004 Bora TDI Like my 2003 Bora TDI, I plugged my new Topdon scanner in to fault find. With the 2003, it reported a rear sensor which I replaced and that switch off the triangle and abs lights. With the 2004 I'm now doing, the warning triangle is lit and the abs is flickering as soon as the...

The Topdon scanner was able to tell me that the rear n/s abs sensor had an issue. The warning triangle and abs were lit on the dash. I fitted a new sensor today and that has switched both warnings off.

It seems auto mode is for cars with CAN bus. My 2003 VW is pre CAN so I got it through manual selection of Volkswagon.

Following your lead, I tried European, Volkswagen and was then given the choice of System Scan or CAN bus Scan so I choose the former and that got the scanner working with the car. I'd been trying to let the scanner do Auto which presumably goes to CAN bus by default hence no play since 2003 VW...

This video may be some use. If not the correct year/model, there'll likely be a video to suit somewhere on YT.

Sadly, the ArtiDiag800BT does not seem to support a 2003 VW car's system. I did a scan and all systems failed to report.

If its any use, a shootbolt reset video.
