ABS rings for Volvo V40 1.9 TD
An ABS ring, also known as an ABS reluctor ring, is a critical component for the safety of your Volvo V40 1.9 TD. This specific diesel model demands components capable of withstanding the stresses of everyday driving across demanding European road conditions. At CVJoint24, we specialise in providing exactly the right parts for your vehicle's drivetrain, from small sensor rings to complete axles. Replacing a cracked or corroded ABS ring is often a highly cost-effective solution compared to replacing the complete CV joint, provided the joint itself remains in sound mechanical condition.
We ensure you receive a product that matches the original specifications for your Volvo, ensuring the car's safety systems function precisely as the manufacturer intended. Our ABS rings are manufactured from materials with high resistance to corrosion, which is vital for the working life of a component exposed to road salt and moisture. By choosing the correct part from the start, you save both workshop time and money in the long term.
What does the ABS ring do on a Volvo V40 1.9 TD?
On your Volvo V40 1.9 TD, the ABS ring is mounted on the outer CV joint at the front wheels. Its primary role is to serve as part of a measuring system that supplies the ABS sensor with precise wheel speed data. The ring features a specific number of teeth or magnetic poles that the sensor reads as the wheel rotates. This data is transmitted instantly to the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU), which detects whether any wheel is about to lock up during braking.
If the ring becomes damaged or breaks, the sensor cannot supply an accurate or stable signal. As a result, the ABS system cannot regulate brake pressure properly, directly compromising vehicle stability and safety on the road. Without an intact ABS ring, the anti-lock braking system can stop working entirely, increasing the risk of skidding in emergency situations. It is therefore vital that this small yet essential part remains in perfect condition.
Common signs of wear
The most common sign that an ABS ring on your Volvo V40 1.9 TD requires replacement is an illuminated ABS warning light on the instrument cluster, often accompanied by a warning message. You may also notice the ABS triggering unnecessarily under light braking at low speeds, felt as pedal pulsation or vibration just before coming to a complete stop. This typically occurs because rust developing beneath the ring has caused it to split, altering the tooth spacing and corrupting the sensor signal.
A visual inspection inside the wheel arch often reveals whether the ring has fractured or lost teeth due to heavy corrosion. If you notice unusual brake behaviour or an intermittent warning light, inspect the ABS reluctor rings promptly. Ignoring these symptoms can cause the system to shut down completely, leaving you without essential anti-lock protection on slippery surfaces or during sudden manoeuvres.
How to choose the correct ABS ring
To choose the correct ABS ring for your Volvo V40 1.9 TD, check the tooth count and the internal diameter of the ring. Because variations can occur depending on production dates and equipment specifications, we always recommend selecting your vehicle by make, model and engine here on cvjoint24.com. This ensures you find the correct part first time and receive an ABS ring that fits your existing constant velocity joint perfectly without modification.
We have carefully categorised our range so you can be confident of ordering the exact specification for your diesel engine. When fitting the new ring, thoroughly clean the seating surface on the CV joint to remove all rust and debris. A correctly fitted ring must sit straight and secure so the sensor reads the teeth with absolute precision. With the right part and proper installation, you restore your car's braking performance to its original standard.
Related parts to check
Please also check these exact pages for the same vehicle when working on the ABS ring:
When a drivetrain component shows wear, adjacent parts on the same car often warrant inspection. By comparing these exact pages for the Volvo V40 1.9 TD, you can more easily determine whether the issue lies purely with the ABS ring or another related part of the driveline.
This is particularly relevant on models where vibrations, play and noises can transfer between multiple drivetrain components. A quick check of related categories reduces the risk of replacing one correct part while overlooking an adjacent component that causes the same symptom.
Replacing related components whilst the suspension is already dismantled saves both time and labour costs in the long run. An intact CV boot protects your new ABS ring and CV joint from grit and moisture, significantly extending the service life of the entire assembly.

Frequently asked questions about ABS rings for Volvo V40 1.9 TD
How do I know if the ABS ring fits my Volvo V40 1.9 TD?
The easiest way is to select your car's make, model and engine in our vehicle selector. We match your car's specifications against our range to ensure you get an ABS ring with the correct tooth count and diameter.
Can I replace just the ABS ring, or do I need to replace the entire CV joint?
If the CV joint itself is in good condition and makes no unusual noises, you can easily replace just the ABS ring. This is a significantly more cost-effective solution that restores the proper function of your ABS system.
Why does the ABS ring crack on a Volvo V40?
The most common cause is corrosion (rust) that builds up underneath the ring on the CV joint. As the rust expands, it exerts pressure from within that eventually causes the hardened steel ring to crack.
Will a cracked ABS ring cause an MOT failure?
Yes, if the ABS warning light is illuminated or the system does not function correctly, the car will fail its roadworthiness test. It is considered a serious safety defect.
What tools are needed to replace an ABS reluctor ring?
You will need standard hand tools to remove the wheel and detach the CV joint from the hub. Fitting the new ring may require gentle heating or a suitable piece of pipe to press it evenly into place.
Is there a difference between ABS rings for petrol and diesel models of the V40?
There can be differences in the number of teeth and dimensions depending on the gearbox and drive shaft manufacturer. Always select your make, model and engine to ensure you get the exact right part for your 1.9 TD.
