Hi all,

I need to replace the front ABS sensor as it is putting out invalid data and causing the car to go into limp mode with various errors - it's 1.6 eHDI with the EGS gearbox, so I am also limited to only three gears.

I managed to get the wheel off and get to the sensor quite easily, but the Torx bolt holding it in has been stripped even before I got to it!

My local mechanic will be able to remove it for a small amount of money, but I'm having a surprising amount of trouble finding a replacement bolt - the new sensor didn't come with one, and the (fairly big) car parts dealer I bought the sensor from here in Germany doesn't know what part I need!

I did some research and found what looks like an accurate parts diagram:

It's marked 70 in this image and described simply as "SCREW CBX" with a part number of 691376. I have searched for the part number and found nothing, but I have also found what might be the right part here, although the part number is different.

Could anybody with more knowledge, experience and/or a parts book let me know if this looks right? Ideally I need to order it asap because the car is booked in for next Wednesday and I was lucky to get it in that soon.

Thanks in advance!

Hallo, If you cant use that torx as a reference, I would remove a bolt from another wheel and check in local hardware store.

Thanks for the suggestion - in hindsight, that should have been obvious

I took the other wheel off, and managed to end up with the same problem. I was able to get the T30 bit into it nicely with some hammering, but then managed to strip it by hand, which is a new experience for me with a Torx head. So, I'm still in the dark but will probably need a second one in the future

Try to use nut, so you can lock it into position. You should be able to find it in a local hardware store

It'll be metric, measure the diameter and pitch then get a new stainless one. A bolt head if it'll fit or any other. They are only something like 8Nm.

An impact driver would have taken it out without damage, or just drill it.

This morning, the local Citroen dealer replied to me about this - they can get the part, in the next day or two, so I will pick it up and also post a photo and the part number for anybody else that searches for the same thing

It's just a bolt, it'll be a common size
