2008 Smart ForTwo Brabus - ESP Fault

[Avantime]

Hi

The ESP fault light comes on after a few minutes of driving / braking etc. I'm guessing it's a reluctor ring. As I understand it the ring can be changed or the drive shaft. Has anyone on here had either job done - what sort of cost it it? The car is under warranty with a limit to any claim.

Thanks

Rings ain't expensive and probably an hour labour,so probably about £60

Thanks - shall take it along to my local Smart chap!

Turns out it's not an ABS ring - it's the steering wheel angle sensor. Luckily they unit is sold separately from the steering wheel on the 451. Still not the cheapest job......

Go on, spook me. How much for the sensor?

[tolsen]

Steering angle sensor clock spring costs about £230. Then add labour cost. Perhaps total fee around £550?

Appears to be two for the 451 based on chassis #

Is the only way to buy a SAS for a 450 to buy the complete wheel?

That's about the size of it! Going to have to delay buying the sports exhaust for my Jag XFR now......

Might not be broken , could just need correct adjustment
