How to replace the ABS sensor of the Volkswagen Passat

Model: Volkswagen Passat B7 - Years 2010-2014
Part: Brake system

To replace the ABS sensor of the Volkswagen Passat, we lift the car and remove the front passenger side wheel; once the wheel is removed, we go behind the disc and find the sensor cable, then with a flathead screwdriver, we disconnect the sensor connector, give it a spray of lubricant, unscrew the sensor screw and remove it. After removing the old sensor, we clean its seat with both lubricant spray and a metal brush; now we take the new ABS sensor, place it in its seat, screw the screw to the correct torque, give a spray to the sensor connector and blow on it before connecting it to the sensor; finally, we clean the disc hub with a metal brush, spray some copper grease only on the central part of the disc, spray brake lubricant on the outer part of the disc, dry it and put the wheel back on. We perform the same procedure on the left side.
