Car failure ABS, ESP, BAS help

2 months ago i replaced rotors and brakes but forgot to replace brake sensors, 2 weeks later my brake pedal fall down when i push it and vibrating like if the abs is working, i thought it is because of brake sensors, so i replaced them message didnt go away, then while changing oil my friend on firestone told me that i have a leak in brake master cylinder, so i replaced it, error mesage still on, today asked him to diagnose my car, and it showed me this code C1101 Right Front Axle bla-bla-bla, anybody had this problem?

Sounds like you have a failure in your ABS, a very important bla-bla-bla. You can keep screwing with your brakes until you kill yourself, or take it to a competent mechanic.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
I.E.

Not firestone.
Not for oil changes and most certainly not for MB brakes.
Right Front Axle VSS Circuit Fault
mb code
you need to inspect the circuit,find the fault and get it repaired.
Any good mb indie shop with a fully upgraded sds machine will diagnose it quickly,and then you decide if you want to do the diy or leave it to them.

This happened to me when I forgot to bleed my brake line, after I did that all my problems were gone.

Did you change the master cylinder yourself? If so, you had to have bled the lines, right? Get the air out by pumping new fluid through to each caliper, farthest first, until there are no bubbles.

Vehicle speed sensor. All those systems rely on it for proper function. If you don't know, you should not be driving the car. It's an accident waiting to happen.
