i have a golf mk3 VR6 needs a new ABS sensor, is this expensive to sort out, MOT runs out soon
|
Not much detail to go on; but if it's a front one, they're around £40 and about half an hour to fit. [You usually have to chisel out the old one.]

to be honest i havnt bought the car yet, only its going really cheap mk3 golf VR6 1000 pounds 140k mile FSH, with only that problem, should i buy or give it a miss
|
Difficult question to answer without seeing it; but first get an insurance quote.
IF, repeat IF, it's only a wheel-speed sensor [these do suffer from ABS pump/ECU failure too] then that money sounds fairly reasonable for a tidy one.
How does the seller know that it's only a faulty sensor? Can you get that confirmed?

Are you usure it's not an over-heater??

|
thanks guys, good points Screwloose,
the sell said it only needs the ABS sensor for the MOT as it when for a pre MOT, and he also can show the report from vw garage.

Answer, get him to MoT it for you, agree to pay for the test and for the sensor if he insists, if it's something else it becomes his problem.
