Citroen XM Forum

Hi Everyone
Am a newbie to the site and to the XM and would like a bit of guidance if possible
Have a 97 3.0 V6

Have removed the front offside ABS sensor as failed....where would be the best place to get the correct replacement ?

Was a #£&@! To come out so definitely need a new one lol

Any help gladly received Thanks
Paul

Anywhere that can supply p/n 454552.

There appears to be better availability of rear sensors, p/n 454566, so you could obtain one of those and shorten the lead.

Thanks for the reply appreciate the assistance
Ok off to find one

That is interesting. What I can see, p/n 454552 is a nice front sensor for XM, easy to buy.
Have you meant 454565? As 454566 directs to "front sensor for XSARA". I wonder if it fits well as an XM's rear sensor?
From my experience, it is quite difficult to find a rear ABS sensor for XM, either 454553 or 454565. I saw some used or new/old stock some time ago for an insane price. If having to replace a rear ABS sensor now, I would, probably, convert it from a front sensor 454552, but it is always better to find a part that fits.

Rear sensor is definitely the rare one. I bought an original ATE front sensor for ~45€ from a common parts supplier just last month.

I'm led to believe vw golf mk.4 sensors use the same or increadably similar sensor head as the xm one and are deemed a suitable replacement.. the only thing is that are plugged at the sensor so the xm cable from sensor to connecting plug on top of the subframe needs soldering to it .. but once done works well.. however I have a feeling after sll that its forthcoming bendix sensors, 1989 to 1995 usage... as the tevis sensors 1996 onwards are still fairly obtainable..

Thanks morda. I looked up the P/n which is 454565, but on searching for it was directed to 454552 which I inadvertently copied over.

Golf Mk3, or Mk4 abs sensor fits but needs the metal bolt collar cutting down to give the correct spacing. P/n 1H0927807

It is Teves sensors we are currently looking for.
