Just replaced my reluctor rings after watching this video yesterday, followed what you said to do, I done both sides as I noticed the sensor in the side that didn’t have a fault was scratched so thought while I’m there I’ll get it done, thanks a lot even though I’m a qualified mechanic I still research every job I do, (depending on timescales). And if I can I like to watch a KZbin video as it gives you a good understanding and also heads up for what tools I’m going to need. Thanks Gerald

Excellent video and explains it all clearly - many thanks! Proper old-school mechanic is the way to go as BMW dealer would have swapped out sensor first and once they realised it was this problem (the reluctor ring) their answer was to swap entire driveshaft with the new ring on it. Difference in cost over £1k!! Problem with this fault is that, until you get a solid fault (permanent warning lights) which logs the error to tell diags which wheel the problem is on, you get the annoying intermittent symptoms of DTC kicking in when it shouldn't, engine stuttering & losing speed etc. Great tip at end about spacer as a possible intermediate fix.

Thank you for sharing this with us! The trick with the washer just saved me for now. The ring is bent on my X3 and damaged the sensor. Unfortunately 2 from the 3 guys at my local service are ill so they couldn't schedule the repair for this week. I have tried puting a 1+1/2mm washer initialy, but that turned out to be too much. The lights went off as soon I did change the sensor but when I applied the breaks first time ABS just kicked in, then all the light come back, except the tyre presure one and the ABS was completely switched off this time. I replaced the washer with a 1mm and that worked, so everithing works as expected for now. Again, thank you for sharing!

Hello, Thanks for watching the video. As I stated in the description, any driveshafts I bought were from my local supplier, they keep them in stock and I get 95% of my parts local. I put that up when I was asked to source one online. The company has sold 120 of them that can be seen (at this moment & they have a 3 year warranty) But I can't vouch for them as I never bought one. The price is right but if you are bothered maybe buy local too or contact them direct and see. I hope this helps

To add some longevity to your fix, I would suggest smearing some two part epoxy in the grooves and over the new ring you installed. Not only would it glue everything in place, but it would put a barrier to keep rust from forming since it would block the oxygen from reaching the place you just worked so hard to scrub free of scale and rust. I know this is a little late, since you assembled everything, but maybe it will give the next bloke a good idea before he starts his project!

Where did you get the reluctor ring? I found one UK based website but I'm having problems trusting them. My car has a different size depending on if it's automatic or manual (E46 330i) and they don't list which one they are selling, and they have a model in their line-up that doesn't exist, and E36 330i, so I don't feel comfortable buying from a parts dealer that has both missing and incorrect information on the same page.

@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage6 жыл бұрын
Thank you for your kind words on the video, It is nice to hear feedback. I replied to another man with pretty much the same issue as yourself. I will say to you like I said to him. It all depends on how bad the corrosion is, then decide on if the repair of just the ring is worth it or not. I have done quite a few of these now and all of them have a lot of time to be invested to solve, In one case the repair was not successful, it was just gone too far. (none of them were the same) When it is your own time it makes sense to go with the ring but when paying for labour it's probably makes more sense not too, unless the corrosion is in it's early stages (much better condition than in my video) The amount of time that's needed to get it right means it is cheaper/quicker to fit a shaft. This job is very much a labour & parts combined issue, one has much more labour and small costing parts and the other is vise versa. Depending on the quote they give for replacing the shaft I would say proceed, If they are way too high I would bring it to an independent workshop that's gives you better value. Regards Gerard

Excellent video Gerard, my ring(!) is starting to go oval and I put a 0.9mm thick 6mm washer under the sensor to lift it a little, as you've suggested and it's been fine now. Do you not use a DTI (gauge) to measure the roundness of the ring on replacement? Also, do you use any form of anti corrosion treatment to limit the issue in the future, especially as the owner seems to live in a field! Have yopu tried heating up the ring to expand it to get it to fit? It would probably just fall on if you heated it up to just below the point where it changes colour? Keep up the excellent videos, they're very detailed and helpful.
@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage7 жыл бұрын
Hello & thanks for comment, it is nice to hear feedback on videos :) To answer some of your questions, No I did not use a dial gauge or any anti corrosion on this job, what you seen is pretty much what you get in this video. To give ya some info on this job and the way I was thinking, when I removed the shaft to see the condition of the problem I was no longer 100% that it would be solved and I was under a time restraint until I needed the lift for another job, I spent a lot more time on it than I expected but I was happy with what was done and also the knowledge that if any further issues a rise it can be solved. My advice for anyone that is doing this job would be, If it is as bad as mine get the complete shaft aftermarket, They are not that expensive and when you put time against the money it just makes sense. If you are ok with trying and accepting you may not get it perfect then fitting the ring, then it is no big deal. In my opinion to do this job 100% you may need a lathe to secure the joint and get it to a perfect round again but that is not worth the time or the money unless you owned one (I do not) Thanks again & sorry for the long reply :)

Could you not just replace the whole driveshaft? Wouldn't s new one come with an abs ring fitted? Or is that considerably more expensive?

You can and it would, if you get a driveshaft at a good price it is the best option Mike. All boils done to cost of labour & cost of part totals.

What are the symptoms of this fault? As I have same lights on my E87 1.6 I.... When I first moving theres no errors but the brake feels like it's grinding something 🤔 then the abs fault lights up and the brakes feel OK again.... is this the same??? I purchased abs sensor but feel the grinding is more than a sensor ha

The symptoms of this fault are the following, jerking/hesitation with a power loss feeling, this is caused by the confusion of the wheel speed sensors & the ECU trying to figure out what is going on, It thinks the wheels may be spinning and the traction control kicks in. Once the lights come on it has detected the fault/s and deactivated the traction control/ABS system. I hope this helps.
