Hi dragon. Add u as friend to later on pm you with the pdf request. Many thks

Pump seems to be dead therefore looking now for refurbishment. Ant other suggestions apart from BBA Reman?

Thks guys. Checked and found 80% water in the brake fluid + the motor of the pump is dead. Have an old spare unit aside with a working motor (just tested it) and will try to replace the motor and see the result. (This unit used to be my old one which i replaced and i am afraid that the guy whi replaced it didnt bleed the system full/properly, because since the unit was replaced the car stayed at the bodyshop for 2 years....) The motor of the space unit might not work fully under pressure when installed (...) but will give it a try. If not, i am afraid will have to unavoidably go for unit rebuilt scenario, or switch to a more recent version (eg passat), or..... will revert for advise!!

Thks 1200 bandit. Have already tried to depressurise the pedal but doesnt move an inch when starting the engine - pedal is constantly hard (brakes are not locked, but you have to press hard to brake). I think indeed it is a mechanical fault possibly with the servo, which wil check (or the abs pump itself, or the abs pressure valve, although i heard that it is quite rare that the pressure valve itself fails...). What about the faults of the wheel sensors and the voltage? Could these anyway appear if it is a mechanical/servo issue, or these can be other actual electrical faults? Need to still check the relays and eliminate them from the causes

Hi guys. VR6 '92 . Car was stationary under repair for +/- 2y. Now having rock hard brake pedal with abs light + handbrake light on. When turn ignition, the pump "clicks". I don't have mechanical experience myself and will take it to the garage, but have read a lot in the forums about the abs, and would like to give SOME guidance to the mechanic on where to start looking. Just bought a VAGCOM and got these codes: VCDS-Lite Version: Release 1.2 Chassis Type: 50 - VW Corrado Scan: 01,02,03,15,25 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Address 03: ABS Brakes Labels: None Controller: 535 907 379 E Component: ABS + EDS VCID: 253D7297ACF9 10 Faults Found: 00278 - ABS Main Valve (N105) 35-00 - - 00280 - Shareware Version.

To Decode all DTCs 04-00 - Please Register/Activate 00599 - Plausibility of Pressure/Brake Light Switch 04-00 - Mechanical Malfunction Any clues from the above and from where to start? The faults which are not shown due to the shareware version are real and must get a full version to diagnose them, or???... Could the cause just/simply be the wheel sensor which shows a bad signal and therefore unlpugged or with a bad connection or something? Appreciate some thoughts and guidance / Thanks

Guys, have the usual prob of tilt but no slide (broken slide). Have bought (believe 10 year ago) the original vw guide with cable but never fit it because of the hassle (and not i dyi man myself). Now its time to replace it but cant do it myself and dont trust any garage to do it for me (from the threads i read here, there are experts on the matter with more experience than any vw or non-vw garage). Therefore, anyone with experience with time and will to help me do it together? I live in Belgium (if anyone here it would surely help) but willing to come across up to London region to donit over there. Any volunteers or profs? I will be of course paying for the job. Many thks.

Guys, any feedback for the above post ref to the crank sensor? / thks

Hi still got the set i bought from you. Havent installed it yet. Is the double sided tape necessary for the installation? thanks

Have same problem with my vr6 / takes time to fireup when warm (the warmer the longer it takes). Guess will go for the crank sensor and see if it works for me. Do i need to go for oem? Any other proposals where to get it from (europe) and which brand if not oem. Not handy myself therefore wont be replacing it myself...!
