Hey, you said it, I was really glad when that was finally off the table. It cost me €1000 to repair the ABS control unit. Yes, you read that right, a hefty price, I tell you. But since then, everything has been running like clockwork and the brakes are doing their job properly, no more annoyances. And the wheel speed sensor malfunction that you suspected was also fixed. I hope everything goes just as smoothly for you! All the best, and keep us up to date!

Hey, wow, that really is a hefty price, but I realize that safety has its price. I'm going to take my Ford to the garage asap and hope that the costs stay within reasonable limits. Your experience sounds reassuring, so I hope everything will be fine. I'll let you know when the car is running again! Thanks for your message and advice. See you then!

Hey, I recently had a similar problem with my 2009 Ford Fiesta. I also had the ABS warning light on and the ABS system wasn't working properly. After a diagnosis at the garage, it turned out that the ABS control unit was faulty. This was definitely a serious problem as it affects the car's braking performance and should definitely be repaired as soon as possible. The repair involved replacing the ABS control unit and that was no small matter. The guys at the garage had to remove the whole unit, fit a new sensor and then reconnect the system properly. So if your diagnosis is correct and it is indeed the wheel speed sensor, I would advise you not to take the repair lightly. You should take the car to a good garage as soon as possible and get the problem fixed to make sure you don't have any problems with your braking system. Good luck!
