ABS pump

[BenM 0]

I've got an intermittent ABS light problem on my '95 VR6. Sometimes the light comes on from cold, sometimes it doesn't. However, when it does come on, as soon as it is slightly warm (10 mins or so) if I stop and restart the engine it goes away every time. I've scanned it and there are 2 ABS valve errors and a 'supply voltage B+' error that come back.

 

After a quick search on here it seems that I need to replace the ABS pump - all of the wheel sensors are fine (just replaced one of them) and the ECU is bone dry. My question is why does the problem go away when the engine is warm? Also, I know the pumps are reasonably cheap to get hold of - how many hours' labour can I expect to replace it? Is it a nasty job?

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Cheers

2 hours labour tops.

If you keep getting a B12+ low voltage warning when you HAVEN'T disconnected the battery, you ought to check the ABS control relays too.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

Voltage error was 00532 - Supply Voltage B+. The battery hasn't been disconnected - guess I'll be checking the relays.

I need one for my car too. Do you know the part number or will any mk3 one fit a VR6 rado? What about models with and without EDL?

All VR6 Corrados have EDL, as do Golf GTi mk3 and Golf VR6 mk3 which share that same unit. You need the one that looks like the auction above. The part number itself is written on the one in your car ... ;)
