ABS and yellow brake light I think if the title is correct. Let me just check the bill to make sure I have it all right

Hi Guys, I just get the problem today. Both indicators in orange.

Here are my extract from Rheingold (I hope you are speaking French ):




I guess also that piece n°2 is concerned ?

Hi again. I hope to not disturb regarding the many answers received

I still have the same trouble but now it is permanently.

I would like to order both captors 34 52 1 164 458 but I have an huge problem with access. So my question is for the ones who already changed these parts :
How can you acceed ????? It is extremely tight and I do not understand how to do to unscrew both captors. Thanks

The rear one is done with the ring end of the spanner, the front one with the open end of the spanner. A bit of patience and move the spanner around the brake pipes, it is possible

Bit of cloth underneath to catch the brake fluid, and if you have something to wedge between the seat and the brake pedal, it creates a bit of a vacuum and stops loads of fluid coming out. The pedal needs to be pressed about 10cm at most.

Once loose, sqeeze your hand down between the partition and the brake pipes, unscrew and insert the new ones. I've got small hands so I find this job relatively easy

Then you will need to bleed the brakes, obviously!

Hope that helps

Thanks for your reply. I think I will wait for the reception of my 2 sensors ordered this morning and do both operation in the meantime with a specialist. I am not confident enough to do it by myself.

Not worth the risk with anything safety related Thnk its about a £500 repair to have both done at a UK main dealer, sensors are £98 each If I remember correctly.

It should be this price yes (around 140€). But I took the risk to order these ones :

OEM BMW, NEW, but without packaging.
Extreme cheap price. Top seller, very good critical.
Price just decreased on this reference. We will see.
I ordered 2. I will ask to my own garage to change the fluide and do the operation in the meantime.

If anyone ever needs a wheel speed sensor, the ATE one from Eurocarparts is just the BMW one with the BMW markings and part number rubbed off... For £50 cheaper.
