Just replaced an ABS sensor that I mangled up during a rear-bearing replacement job and
I'm still getting an ABS fault after 15 minutes of driving.the ABS activates at very slow speeds when approaching a stop,you can feel the brake pedal flutter.Do I need to reset an ABS code with a VAG tool ?.At start up there is no ABS fault code,it only comes on after a few minutes of driving,Sensor was purchased at Stealership !!
Any advice ?

did you clean the hole where the sensor sits?
I had a dirty ABS sensor cause the exact same problem. When I looked at the sensors on VAG, you can see one rear wrong at low speeds and causes ABS to kick in at low speeds. I took out the sensor and cleaned it and cleaned out the hole as best I could and The light and problem went away.

well, I didn't do anything special
I cleaned the sensor with windex and just wrapped some paper towel around a screw driver and stuck it in the hole and moved it around. I might have sprayed some windex in there too. maybe try swapping sensors side to side and see what happens?
