HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 фев 2023
- The 2009 125i Was Having ABS & Traction control Issues, with the Fault Code 5DC1 Stored The ABS rings look favourite.
The easy fix is to space the abs sensor with a small washer less than 1mm thick.

Good job Ant neat little trick, See the supervisor turned up to see if you was doing a good job and not slacking lol... Keep them coming
Will do, she’s never too far away keep an eye on where we are. Bless the old dog 🐶 Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Awesome video. Have the same on my e82 125i but the ring didn't solve it. Code was gone for a short while, say 15 minutes of driving back from my mate. So me and my mate suspect faulty sensor by being to late. This helps a lot in what to do next, so thanks!
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Was driving my car this weekend and it decided to throw the standard abs ring codes 😂 I used a .83 washer as a spacer and took it for a drive last night, no more codes which I'm happy about as I'm off to the Nurburgring this weekend. Worse case scenario is I won't have any driving aids or cruise control 😂 thank you for the video, really easy to understand
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Loved the dog. I am not a great mechanic. This might be the solution for my old 3 series saloon BMW diesel. I have info to take a professional. Thank you. I also like the links to tools, equipment and for DIYer. I was impressed by the Top Don thing as I am a professional software engineer and just not so practical with my hands..
Glad it helped Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Channel is brilliant mate.
I will pop your name in the hat, Good luck in the prize draw on the 6th November!! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Good idea with the spacer. On my 1 series (E87) and the E90 of my parents (sold since I fixed it) I replaced the worn sensors with new ones and just didn't thread the screw all the way so the sensor still was out by 1-2mm. "Fixed" it without having to replace the ring or drive shafts. I like your idea better with putting in a spacer, that way you can't tighten the screw too much by accident
Works like a charm, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Nice cheap fix brilliant idea saved some work 👍

Hi, mate.
I've been watching all of your videos, and they were very helpful. Especially about City bug, as I have had one. Now I have a Corsa d 2011 ecoflex 1l petrol (39k on clock) , and it had problem with timing chain, after the replacemenet car started and has engine light on. I've diagnosted and the code appeared to be crankshaft sensor. Sensor got replaced, yet the light is still on. I was advised that I need to check timing chain alignment, because the car had no power and engine was shaking. I bought timing chain alignment tool to adjust, and i tried to fix it. First time the car was still running, but no change. After that I tried to align several times, but my tool isn't accurate with my car. Car isn't starting now at all. The smell of petrol is coming from spark plugs, I've check them and they were full of the fuel. I cleaned them, tested them, return back, but car isn't starting at all.
Do you have any advise what and where to look to just make this car to start, even if it has engine light on dashboard still on?
Thx
Sounds like the timing is the issue, why did the chain need replacing after 39000 miles is there an underlying issue with the engine, ie oil pressure chain tensioner issue Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I was advised by others to change the chain as the car was a non-starter when bought. I'll look up by your advice further on, and let you know the outcome.
Thx!
Nice one mate good job
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
great work
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great video, but didn't work for my E90,😢. inserted washer on both rear sensors ( both are worn a bit) and now in addition to a circled triangle, the ABS appeared and the DTC button stopped working. Please advise what are my options. Thank you for supporting
This is the next step if the spacers don't work ruclips.net/video/rBlTHK29x8c/видео.html Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
My 320d had 5DC2. Tried 1mm washer and that changed to codes 5DC1, 5DC2, 5DC3 & 5DC4! So presumed washer too thick, replaced with a 0.3mm one and cleared the codes, will do a test drive in morning and see whats what. Possibly time to for a new sensor and install it with a washer from the beginning as currently one looks v worn down.
Yes if the end of the sensor has been worn down too far the sensor is scrap, try a new sensor with a wafer thin washer should work for a few years, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 Just wanted to follow up on this : I installed a new sensor today (15 quid amazon) with a relatively thick 1.2mm washer and was surprised it cleared all faults after driving only 50 yards :) Fully expected it to be too far from reluctor ring but nope, all good!
Hi pal so after i do this will the warning lights on my dash disappear automatically or will i have to get a diagnostic to remove them? thanks
You will need to clear the codes, or they will stay stored, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks for the great tip what size washer i know its 0.5-0.9 thick but the diameter please is it M8 ?
M6, Link to washers on amazon £6 amzn.to/3vTEemy Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
What were the driving symptoms before you repaired the sensor?
@aaanton11 hi, aanton, but the m6 in this packet is 1mm thickness, isn't that too thick? Doesnt it need to be 0.5mm at m6?
hi ant ,,on the my aygo the sensor ring just fell to bits ,,than the sensor broke inside the stub axel ,,had to get new wheel bearing ,,then it was fixed ,,car now sold and a another city bug bought this time c1 ,,2016
Very nice a newer model hopefully it will be as reliable as the old one, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@aaanton11 hope so..its a wee cracker 1.2.this time furio edit..
Hi i seem to be having this same problem with an 2011 E90 . Can i ask does spacing the sensor stop the ABS working? would you not ust replace the sensor. I've just disconnected and resetted the ABS ECU see if that does anything.
No the abs works fine, the washer needs to be less than .7mm this just allows for the swelled ABS ring, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@aaanton11 Jesus!!! Just started the car and the all hells broken loose. Wipers won't turn off and dash has every conceivable warning light on!! Is it cause I've not connected the ABS junction correctly!! I dare not open the bonnett..
EDIT I've just been under and yes!! To prevent the shock of your life make sure the ABS connection is fully secured!! Goodness me 🙈
Wow!! 😂 These faults can be crazy, modern electronics can throw some strange issues, glad you fixed it, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Actual sensor for 1 series and e90-e92 are different am I right? Mine seems bit slimmer.
my e90 and e82 are identical, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Do you put a spacer on every ring. And will the system still work.
only on the one thats faulty, works like a dream, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
it worked for me too, can we call this a permanent fix or should i replace ABS ring?
Permanent until it fails, which for me was another 3 years, then I replaced the rings video here ruclips.net/video/rBlTHK29x8c/видео.html Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 can you provide more details please, how did it fail? did it do any damege to other components? how did you notice it..by sound or ABS light? thanks a lot!
My 320d has started to kick in the abs after driving in the wet.
Try the washer Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Had abs sensor and driveshaft replaced error still comes up
What code do you get? Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Mine thinks its going betwen 130 and 650kmph on all 4 wheels even when still :(
Try disconnecting the battery for 10 mins, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
