How to Remove the ABS Sensor on a Mini

Model: Mini Mini R53, R52, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Checks and maintenance

How to remove the ABS sensor on a Mini. Position your car on a column lift and raise it to a comfortable height for working. Unscrew the wheel bolts with a socket wrench and (using an air drill) remove the wheel; start unscrewing the securing bolts of the ABS sensor (located above the brake disc). Use a screwdriver to detach the clips holding the wiring. Remove the plastic splash shield and (as shown in the video) disconnect the power connectors inside the wheel arch. Finally, connect the new ABS sensor and reattach the splash shield and wheel with the associated bolts.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
