W204 Wheel Speed Sensor issue

Hi Guys, can somebody help shed some light on my issue. 2013 W204 C250, came up with ESP error, no ABS and no tyre pressure monitor. Plugged into and established axle speed sensor issue on front left axle.

So, I have changed wheel speed sensor, problem still exists, have today changed magnetic bearing seal, problem still exists however from live data does seem to read consistently but drops very occasionally, so have tightened bearing as figured maybe the gap was an issue, problem still exists!

I've no idea where to go next, has anybody had same issue and managed to resolve?

Any tips or pointers very much appreciated!

Cheers, Luke

I assume you have cleared any codes. And, believe it or not, sometimes these type of issue are because of a failing battery.

You need a good scanner to diagnose this issue
