I have diagnosed my unwanted abs shutter to a right front tone ring

No code would be thrown, but the abs would activate, upon hacking out the speed sensor I discovered a the tone ring was cracked, so on to replacing it.

Looks easy in an old world kinda way, get to use a torch to heat up the new ring to put it on the axle.

But here is the problem, I can't seem to find the part. Does VW not call the tone ring a tone ring..

i kind find whole axles with tone rings on them, but then I dont get to do the flame torch thing.

2001 eurovan weekender auto with the 24v v6

thanks

Totally missed this one.

These parts seem to be only available in the UK or EU - looks like we have forgotten how to mechanic here in the US, and a $5 tone ring problem is fixed by replacing the whole axle

Im about to put together an order for tone rings - interested in tagging on and helping t ease the international ship burden?

Can't you just buy an outer CV joint with the TR installed?

I think the OP is having a hard time finding this $5 tone ring.

Having recently purchased parts from Greece, Germany and the UK, I don't think I can recommend going out of country if it can be avoided. Major annoyances
