ABS Problem - VAG COM screen sprint......

[rixy 0]

Hi peeps, we've got a raddo in at work, that im doing some paintwork on, and the chap wants me to get everything up and running properly. he has an ABS issue, front right ABS sensor (which is on order, and will be here monday) but he also has the following fault code on VAG Com....

 

 

Whats it likely to be? I've been told its most probably an Internal Pump problem? No wirries if so, as i have a spare pump in the garage, but just wanted an opinion first??

Not absolutely sure but think that's the same fault code I had on my 16V when the ABS Pump was u/s?

Have you tried disconneting the electrical connector on the front of the ABS valve block/pump unit? Apply some WD40 and work the connector.

yeah, i've tried that, and it makes no difference......so does that mean new pump, and a complete bleed thru of the braking system then? if so, i'll get on with it one evening this week :-)

Been doing anything with the brakes recently? Like backing off the caliper pistons?

I had this for a while and it seemed to be temperature and connector related - a good clean up of the connector, and a proper bleed ign of the pump seems to have sorted it - having said that, I'm sure it will be back as soon as I hit "post" on this.... lol;

not as far as i know, the brakes dont look to be have been touched for a while? I'll clean and check the connector again tonight if i get chance, and see if that makes any difference?
