The Audi 200 2.2 Turbo is a classic performance car where every drivetrain component plays a vital role in the driving experience. A defective ABS ring, also known as an ABS reluctor ring, can quickly compromise the car's safety features and lead to unpredictable braking. At CVJoint24, we are Swedish driveline specialists who understand the technical nuances of classic Audi models. By offering precision-fit car parts, we help you maintain the original feel and safety of your vehicle. Our focus is on quality and technical expertise, making us the natural choice when you are looking for spare parts for your Audi 200 2.2 Turbo. We ensure you get the correct component matching your car's exact specifications, whether you are carrying out a complete restoration or an urgent replacement.
The ABS ring on an Audi 200 2.2 Turbo is mounted on the CV joint and works as a toothed ring rotating at wheel speed. An ABS sensor reads these teeth and sends electrical pulses to the car's control unit. By measuring the frequency of these pulses, the system determines whether a wheel is about to lock up under braking. For a powerful car like the 2.2 Turbo model, this system is critical for maintaining steering control during hard braking or on slippery surfaces. If the ring is damaged, cracked or heavily corroded, the signal becomes corrupted, preventing the ABS from working effectively or causing it to shut down entirely to avoid unwanted interference with brake operation.
The most common symptom of a broken ABS ring is an illuminated ABS warning light on the dashboard. You may also notice the ABS activating unnecessarily at low speeds on dry surfaces, felt as an unexpected pulsation in the brake pedal just before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. On older vehicles like the Audi 200, rust swelling is a frequent issue: corrosion forms beneath the ring on the constant velocity joint, causing the ring to expand and eventually snap. A cracked ring creates an uneven gap between teeth, confusing the sensor and generating false readings. If you experience these symptoms, it is time to inspect your rings before the system fails completely and compromises braking stability in emergencies.
Selecting the right ABS ring requires precision, as tooth counts and inner diameters vary depending on the exact model year and drivetrain setup. For an Audi 200 2.2 Turbo, it is essential to ensure the new ring matches the original specifications perfectly so that the sensor can register the wheel speed accurately. We always recommend selecting your car's exact make, model and engine to minimise the risk of ordering the wrong part. Should you have any questions, our customer support team is always on hand to help you find the right item. With our fitment guarantee, you can be confident that the spare part you order will fit your car without modification, saving you time and hassle in the workshop.
Feel free to check these related pages for the same vehicle when working with the ABS ring:
When a driveline component shows signs of wear, neighbouring parts for the same car often require inspection as well. Comparing these exact pages for the Audi 200 2.2 Turbo makes it easier to determine whether the fault lies strictly with the ABS ring or with an adjacent part of the drivetrain.
This is especially important on models where vibration, play and noises can transfer symptoms across several driveline components. Checking related categories helps ensure you replace the correct item without overlooking an adjacent component that contributes to the same issue.

You can often replace just the ABS ring if the CV joint is otherwise in good condition. However, if the CV joint is worn or noisy, a complete replacement is recommended.
This is usually caused by corrosion building up underneath the ring. As the rust expands, it exerts outward pressure from within that eventually causes the steel ring to crack.
Yes. If the ABS warning light is illuminated or the system is not functioning correctly, the car will fail its roadworthiness inspection (such as an MOT), as it is a critical safety system.
You generally need tools to remove the wheel, brake caliper and drive shaft from the wheel hub, as well as a method to gently press or heat-fit the new ring into place.
Use a soft cloth and a gentle electronic cleaner spray. Ensure you remove any metallic debris and dirt that may have stuck to the sensor's magnetic tip.
