my car has been sitting at the mechanics for almost 2 months trying to sort out an abs problem. After looking for ages I found a pump number which matched my original pump number, however it is throwing up the same fault code as previous. The light comes on when it moves not when idle, (which they have told me). They are going to try a brand new pump. What could be the problem? All wheel sensors have been checked and cables are all ok. I don't have a copy of the fault codes. Will a brand new one fit in with no faults to the system? Sorry for such a lot of writing.

If its deffo the pump then yes a new one should sort out the problem  but maybe its the abs ecu. When my abs light kept coming on and off it was saying o/s/r sensor but I changed that twice then took it to vag specialist and they confirmed it was the ECU.

Hi Mate, what fault code is it throwing? if its rear you can check pump\ecu by clearing the code, lifting the rear seats you will find the 2 sensors N\S and O\S swap them round (dont forget to put them back!) if the code throws on the same wheel (after swap) then its pump\ecu. you can get the ecu refurbed at BBA reman, mine was about £125 a few years ago.

good luck

thanks for the suggestions. Went to the garage to check it out, it seems that the control module doesn't seem to work as the pump itself works, they showed me that separately, its just the control module is unable to send power/ tell the pump to activate. so they have ordered a new circuit board for the control module. really hope this works
