Borg & Beck has released technical advice for technicians installing new rear brake discs to Citroën and Peugoet models that have an integrated magnetic seal built in.

The brand has said it’s important to check the ABS sensor to ensure it’s located properly.

A spokesperson said: “The ABS sensor gives an accurate measurement of wheel speed rotation and due to its location, it’s common for rust and corrosion to contaminate the area, which may impact the functionality of the sensor readings when the disc is replaced.

“It is therefore vital for technicians to ensure that the location of the ABS sensor is correct, as if corrosion has moved its position, it may result in a lack of signal and cause the indicator to light up on the dashboard and not work, making it an MOT failure and a safety risk.”

The company warns that if the ABS sensor is touching the magnetic reader or the gap is not aligning correctly, the sensor should be carefully removed and the rust and corrosion from the ABS sensor seating location thoroughly cleaned.

Once this area has been cleaned, the ABS sensor and brake disc should be reinstalled, with a clear 1-2mm gap visible between the two components.

As good practice, Borg & Beck suggests that technicians should replace both rear disc hubs at the same time to ensure optimum safety and efficiency.

In addition to useful technical information, Borg & Beck offers an extensive range of braking components that includes more than 1,500 brake disc references and in excess of 6,800 ‘wet’ and ‘dry’ braking components, which provide workshops with the correct replacement solution for all popular applications.
