ABS rings for Audi Convertible 2.0 E
The ABS ring, also known as an ABS reluctor ring, is a small yet critical component in your car's safety system. For a classic such as the Audi Convertible 2.0 E, maintaining the original feel and functionality of the braking system is essential. A cracked or corroded ring can cause the ABS system to behave erratically, compromising both driving feel and safety. We supply components specifically engineered to meet the technical requirements of this exact model. By choosing the correct spare part, you ensure that the vehicle's sensors receive accurate signals, which is vital to prevent wheel lock-up during heavy braking. Our range is carefully selected to withstand European roads and the harsh demands of road salt and moisture.
What does an ABS ring do on an Audi Convertible 2.0 E?
The primary task of the ABS ring is to serve as a reference point for the car's ABS sensors. As the wheel rotates, the sensor reads the teeth on the ring and sends wheel speed data to the car's electronic control unit. On an Audi Convertible 2.0 E, these rings are usually mounted on the CV joint. If the system detects that one wheel is rotating slower than the others during braking, it modulates brake pressure to prevent a skid. Without an intact ring, the system cannot perform these calculations correctly, often resulting in the ABS warning light illuminating and the system shutting down completely to protect the driver from erratic interventions. It is a sophisticated interaction between mechanics and electronics that demands components manufactured to precise tolerances.
Common signs of wear
The most common sign that an ABS ring on your Audi Convertible 2.0 E has failed is the ABS warning light appearing on the dashboard. You may also notice the ABS system intervening and "juddering" during completely normal braking at low speeds, caused by a crack in the ring sending a false signal to the sensor. Because these cars are driven in varied weather conditions, corrosion is the primary culprit. Rust builds up beneath the ring, causing it to expand and ultimately snap. If you hear a pulsating noise from the brakes or experience uneven braking performance, it is high time to carry out a visual inspection of the rings. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to reduced braking efficiency in critical situations.
How to choose the correct ABS ring
Selecting the right part for an Audi Convertible 2.0 E requires precision. Variations exist depending on production year and specific chassis numbers. The most important step is to check the number of teeth and the internal diameter of the ring so that it seats perfectly on the CV joint. We always recommend selecting your car's make, model and engine in our store to filter out the correct options. As drivetrain specialists, we know the exact technical specifications for your car model. Measuring the old ring before ordering can be a helpful safeguard, but with our fitment guarantee and expertise, we guide you to the right part straight away to avoid unnecessary returns or fitting issues.
Related parts to inspect
Please also check these exact pages for the same car when working on the ABS ring:
When a drivetrain component shows signs of wear, neighbouring parts on the same car often require inspection too. By comparing these exact pages for the Audi Convertible 2.0 E, it becomes much easier to determine whether the fault lies strictly with the ABS ring or with another related part of the driveline.
This is particularly relevant on models where vibrations, play and noises can shift symptoms across several parts in the same drivetrain. A quick check of related categories reduces the risk of replacing the right type of part while overlooking an adjacent component that affects the very same issue.

Frequently asked questions about ABS rings for Audi Convertible 2.0 E
How do I know if an ABS ring fits my Audi Convertible 2.0 E?
The easiest and most reliable method is to select your car's make, model and engine variant in our search filter. This narrows the range down to the exact parts engineered for your car's specification and model year.
Can I replace just the ABS ring or do I have to replace the whole CV joint?
On the Audi Convertible 2.0 E, you can usually replace just the ABS ring if the CV joint is otherwise in sound condition. This provides a cost-effective repair if the ring has simply cracked due to corrosion.
Why do ABS rings crack on Audi models?
The most common cause is corrosion. Rust builds up between the CV joint and the ring, creating outward pressure that eventually causes the hardened steel ring to crack.
Does a cracked ABS ring cause an MOT failure?
Yes, a cracked ABS ring typically illuminates the ABS warning light. An illuminated brake system warning light will result in an immediate roadworthiness inspection failure.
What tools are required to replace an ABS ring?
You will need standard hand tools to remove the road wheel and release the CV joint from the hub. It is also helpful to heat the new ring gently so that it slides smoothly into position during fitting.
Is there a difference between front and rear ABS rings on the Audi Convertible?
Yes, there can be differences in both diameter and tooth count between the front and rear axles. Always check the exact specifications for the fitting position you intend to repair.
