Title: Wheel bearing gone and tc and abs lights on
Post by: Baz300 on September 12, 2012, 05:36:32 pm
My front driver side wheel bearing is making a really bad rumbling noise so i know it's gone

But the abs and tc lights are staying on the dash and I can't turn the tc on

Would the damaged bearing cause the lights to come on?

Car is getting a new bearing fitted tomorrow

The magnetic ring on the wheel bearing will have damaged the ABS Sensors. It wont be sensing the wheel is moving so brings on the ABS and TC lights.
New wheel bearing and abs sensors should sort it out  :happy2:

Will the abs sensor be included with the bearing assembly?

It never when I ordered mine from a local factors, I think it was another £25 for the sensor.
Are you fitting it yourself or getting a garage to do it?

It's a garage that is doing it

Just hoping I dont get a massive bill as they also discoverd that my 2 front tyres are starting to crack so will also need replaced (they dont sell tyres)

I think i was charged 2 hours labour when I had mine done.
Check out Camskill and Oponeo for tyres, they are usually cheap  :happy2:

I bought tyres from Camskills last time but no garages up here are keen to fit tyres unless they supply them, ended up losing the saving I made on the tyres with the fitting costs last time

Going to try a local garage tomorrow to see if they will price match black circles

Got my car back £250 for the 2 bearings + labour which was a nice surprise

They shown me the bearings and I couldn't believe the state of he front one after 44k
