abs light and issue

[VanillaIce220]

Hey all. This is my first post and it is a great one

So my partner bought a bog standard 2015 1.2tsi polo. I began driving it more because it so much more efficient then my worked Legacy GT and that thing eats fuel. Anyway, I started tinkering with the car. I realised there was an enormous amount of body roll causing significant wear and tear on the inside edge or the tire. It was so bad that I forked out the money to get better wheels and tires, eibach springs and I decided to upgrade to gti calipers. The calipers required the hub assembly because I had the 256mm rotors.
I did all that and the car was fine for about 3 months. I then got an abs light. I got it scanned, front left. took the sensors off and gave it a clean and noticed some scorch marks. Stupidly I ignored them. Didn't fix so I bought a new sensor.
When installing the new sensor I took a look in the little hole and noticed it was gunky and looked like the washer/reluctor ring was shot(at the time I didn't know what it is). I cleaned it and noticed that there was 3 teeth left. Stupidly I pushed on installing the new sensor and my abs issue was gone.
Oh happy days.
Usually i drive about 50-60km/h normal town driving. Holiday got cancelled and my partner threw her laptop into a wall and she needed a new one so began a trip 250km away for a new laptop. I was doing about 110km/h when the cruise control went from 110 to 80 and turned off. I knew something was about to happen. Reset cruise control and then 20 minutes later it did the same thing. This time the abs/esc light came on. The polo went from 110 to 75 to 130 back to normal 110. I had a feeling. Got the car scanned. front left again.
I then bought the reluctor ring/washer installed that. A S**t load of teeth came out. I knew when the car was doing 110 for so long the sensor would have gotten beat up and s**t itself. I cleared the code. It came back. As stated before I think the new sensor was beat up.
Bought a new sensor and started to install it. I noticed the washer/reluctor ring was not normal and new scorch marks on the bottom of the sensor. Looked like the sensor was hitting the ring. I did not install the new sensor as I didn't want to waste money. I bought another washer/reluctor ring and have since installed that.
This is where it gets interesting, I placed the old sensor in without the axle in the hub and rotated the bearing. It was hitting a bit. I then put the new one in and it was ever so slightly touching one area. Now I know I should have put the new one in first but yeah. I also cleaned the s**t out of the bearing and axle to be sure.
My question is, Do you think the bearing is stuffed causing the washer/reluctor ring to be off balance?
or
Do you thing that because the sensor was damaged they might have warped a little hitting the new ring.
I think it should be fine with the new ring and sensor. As stated above it was touching by a bees d**k on one area. I am also thinking that I might try and space the sensor but a bees dick but that could cause improper values.
let me know what you think.

Edit:
Unless its the wire or pick up.
Also I put in the new sensor with a washer because for some reason the sensor before was hitting the washer/reluctor ring. That might change the values but I have checked with a couple of mechanics of mine and they said its pretty common to do that.
There were also some scorch marks on the new new sensor that is facing the new washer/reluctor ring. I am thinking that's normal?

Update:
Still have abs/esc light. I am thinking that because I have driven for over a week on a stuffed sensor the car thinks its normal. I will get a friend to scan and clear.

Could be the bearing is moving out of its recess a bit or is worn, check that closely.

Its the bearing. I had a more thorough inspection and its doing as you said.
However, I have also found a bigger issue. Water pump has a sever leak.
