    I have a n 02 golf which has an issue on the abs braking system
    the abs kicks in when i am slowing down at about 10kms.

    fault codes are saying passenger abs sensor... but i have been told its the wheel bearing.

    anyone else have this issue

    thanks a million

    Does the ABS lamp flash when you feel the pump kicking in? Or is the lamp illuminated constantly. A faulty wheel bearing could potentially damage the reluctor ring (ABS pick up) for the sensor and so log the fault code you have found. I suspect replacing the wheel bearing and checking the reluctor and sensor for any damage will cure your problem.

    no the lamp does not flash,

    the esp light and the abs sometimes come on, but go away.

    i have been told it is not electrical and bearing issue, he is 80% sure...

    If its inspected its should be obvious if bearing is gone or if the reluctor ring is damaged.
