Anybody know the part number for the ABS speed sensor bushing, spacer, isolator, whatever you want to call it. I was under there replacing the clutch slave cylinder and hose and noticed one missing. I reached over to check the other ones out and they just crumbled in my fingers. I've searched for about two hours looking on the parts diagrams and I just can't find it.
The speed sensor is part #18 in the diagram (964.606.402.02). The other parts (#14 and #21) are the support and push on connector for the sensor. Both these parts are handed - L/H and R/H.
The part I'm looking for is not shown in the diagram. It is a simple plastic conical looking bushing(for lack of a better word) that inserts into the u -shaped support bracket(#14) that I pointed to. It guides the wire that connects to the speed sensor wire into the connector(#21) and protects it from abrasion. I just can't find it in the PET diagrams and I thought somebody must have replaced them recently as mine just disintegrated when I touched them. Maybe they come pre-mounted on the wire that connects to the speed sensor wire assembly(#18)? If that's the case, then I'll just replace them with rubber grommets.
Ah yes, just checked, as I have my rear wheels off at the moment dealing with oil lines, and I can see what you mean. It's one of those parts that could equally come with the speed sensor and sensor cable or also come with the mounting bracket. I guess you would need to ask an OPC parts person to check their store and have a physical look at both items on the shelf for this.
Alternatively, you could easily make one up using a rubber blanking grommet of the bracket cable locator size. Make a hole in the grommet for the sensor to pass through and press fit it into the 'C' shaped recess in the bracket. Could even add some heat shrink sleeve on the cable too for extra rigidity or protection.
