I have been trying to fix some abs DTC's and managed to snap one of the little plastic tags on the side of the ABS wheel sensor mounting, (There are two little flats either side of the tube the sensor fit into) I tried superglue in a vain hope it might work but obviously this was never going to work.. The sensor mounts into the front hub rear dust cover on my car - a 2006 early XK 150. I have new sensors but was clumsy getting the old sensor out.. can you get the plastic mounts separately or do I need a new hub etc to get this part? I assume it is a tight push fit into the rear of the hub? I can only see complete hubs for sale.. can you get this part on its own? I would imagine this would be an MOT failure as its not secure without the clip... Any help gratefully received !!

 

A pic or two might help for feedback.

 

Thanks added a picture to show the damaged part..

 

I dunno if the thing could be "glued" in place with epoxy - all I could find was this:

I'm not sure what part you would need to buy to replace the the sensor holder but I doubt whether an MOT tester would notice unless it was literally hanging out and probably producing a fault code. If you held it in place with a couple of cable ties that would definitely be fine for MOT purposes.

I might try epoxy or JB weld and then an improvised alternative clip of some sort.. Could have done without this !!

 

Ya, JB weld is good stuff - make sure to clean up the parts with some cleaner such as Isopropyl alcohol.
