Wompa 0 Posted May 24, 2009 Hi. When I was driving home the other night my ABS light started to shine, and the brake warning light started also. I tested the ABS system by stepping on the brake and there where no ABS. After a couple of pushes on the brake pedal the pedal became stiff as if there where no brake servo. After I got home I pop open the bonnet to see that all the brake fluid has been delivered back to the reservoir, so the pump dont seems to work. I tried to hear the pump when the car was in ignition but no noise at all. This has happen before, about 6months ago and never since. And now when Bugrun is coming up the car starts to fail. I wonder because its a VR the brake system is electric, can it be that a relay is faulty or some cables is damage? Or is it the worst, that the whole brake pump assembly is damage? Which relay is it that controls the brake assembly? This is frightening! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wompa 0 Posted March 19, 2010 The unit is not expensive if you buy second hand... There is no market for that part so. VAG wanted 1500£ for a servicekit for the unit... :gag: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd want a whole new braking system for that! They're avin' a larf! Tell me about it, I enquired last week for an ABS Pump for my 2.0 16V and they wanted £1723 for one (but was on back-order?) Ian.
