W221 front right speed sensor

[Malcolm Johnson]

Greetings all,
Recently lost my ABS,cruise control and Tyre pressure measure (amber warning display signs). When i attach my icar soft diagnostics tool. It threw various errors, all pointing to speed sensor failure and particularly right front axle. When the diagnostics tool talks about right, is that sat in the car or looking at the car from the front?
Silly question i know but rather replace the correct sensor and remove the correct inner wheel fairing. Rather not do double the work for no value.

Any guidance much appreciated

Correct.

and make sure you check the hub itself and not just swap the sensor

When my front right sensor went, Mercedes insisted on changing both front sensors (new model, I believe).

Work done under garantee even though car was five years old.

Cheers for that guys, although is the " speed sensor failure right front axle" would that be when sat in the car ? (off side) or looking at the car from outside looking at the bonnet ? (near side) me thinks sat in the car ?
