I know i'm reviving a very old thread, but... as it was relevant, I wondered if anyone had any more data on w124 wheel speed sensors / the diff speed sensor. Did anyone ever get any further with this?
I've removed the ESP unit from my vito van, as it won't be liking the lack of other ecu's, but it would seem wise to keep ABS on for UK MOT / insurance possible issues in the event of an accident. I looked into using the ABS off the donor W210, however it has CAN bus connections too to the abs unit.
I then wondered about using a w124 pump and control unit, as they are available very cheap and pre CAN. I can't place my hands on the diagram at the moment.
Anyway the question I was going to ask, is has anyone had an ABS equipped Diff. apart from a w124 or similar setup? If so how does the rear sensor work, is it a toothed ring like other wheel speed sensors usually are of that era?
I'm wondering if i'll need to accurately work out the diff ratio and convert it so that on my van it's turning the exact same speed (easier to get it within tolerance if there are many teeth - harder if there are fewer i think?
Or do i just "Go without" and hope for the best. Hmm decisions!
I did think, despite the vito having wheel speed sensors (rear ones faulty) just fitting a pair of w124 reluctor rings on the inside of the bearing at the front, then a custom made wheel/ring at the rear on diff flange.
If no one knows, i'll have to acquire a diff and findout
Thanks....

W639 Vito OM606 + 722.6 STD - in progress
Current progress: engine in, gearbox in, bumper bar modified to accept w210 radiator, audi electric fan, very tight squeeze, interior stripped out ready for new seats (w211) and custom dash with w211 clocks controlled by arduino with split fuel gauge covering main tank and auxiliary for Veg Oil ...
- DSL1 ECU for Electronic OM606 Pump (currently fitting wiring)
Next; 722.6 Controller, HX40 with homemade manifold, Air-to-water intercooler, homemade exhaust, MOT.... One day!
