Frequently asked questions about ABS rings for Audi 80 1.8 GTE Quattro
How do I know if the ABS ring on my Audi 80 is faulty?
The most common signs are an illuminated ABS warning light, pulsating or vibrations through the brake pedal during normal braking, or fault codes linked to the wheel speed sensors.
Do I have to replace the entire CV joint if the ABS ring is cracked?
No, on the Audi 80 1.8 GTE Quattro you can often replace just the ABS ring if the CV joint itself is in good condition, which is a much more cost-effective solution.
Why do ABS rings crack on older Audi models?
It is usually caused by corrosion. Rust expands beneath the ring on the CV joint, creating outward pressure that eventually causes the hardened steel ring to split.
How many teeth should the ABS ring have on an Audi 80 1.8 GTE Quattro?
It can vary, but typically it has 45 teeth. However, it is very important to verify this against your vehicle's chassis number or by counting the teeth on the original ring.
Can a damaged ABS ring affect the Quattro system?
Yes, because the Quattro system and stability systems rely on accurate speed readings from every wheel, a cracked ring can lead to incorrect behaviour in the four-wheel drive system.
Is it difficult to replace an ABS ring yourself?
It requires removing the outer CV joint from the wheel hub. Once the joint is free, you can tap off the old ring and press or heat-shrink the new reluctor ring into position.
