Very true! Same here. Just hope this isn't something that could break easily and jeopardize the braking system....
We do have a great community here. So let's keep it that way. Nice to see that everyone has shared their experience and found alternative solution(s).
Thanks guys and we should...
Hey Zocko,
Any news on the creaking pedal and master cylinder replacement?
Would be useful if you were able to share your experience and results.
Thanks in advance
Yeah, that doesn't sound really genuine to me. The problem is that Audi dealers don't understand that unit and probably can't access it. Hence the reason ECUTesting are taking on all this work. ECUTesting are specialised in thiese unit. Might be worth giving them a cal and ask the question.
Hi Newk,
If this has been repaired, then why are you still getting that "yellow" warning?
Also, what is the yellow warning you are talking about. Post pictures or be more descriptive.
I wouldn't drive / start the car if you were still getting some error messages on your dashboard. They should...
Hi Newk,
As far as I am aware, the count increases every time the engine is started.
I believe that you would be safe if the pressure sensor has been replaced and the fault(s) fully cleared by the garage.
The best things you could do is:
1- Contact your Audi dealer and explain the...
Hi ya,
Not sure where is thebpressure sensor. Either ways, this needs replacing as it is that sensor that stops working and generate the fatal error code in the pump. The fatal error code in the pump is generated when that sensor fault comes up more than 20 times, if I remember. I believe there...
Just provide them the error code and explain them over the phone. At the end, they will probably ask you to send the pump so that they can look themselves
Your pump model number and car details would be good to have in hand before calling them.
Good luck.
Hi Ian,
Did you replace the module yourself or with a garage?
ECUTesting are usially capable of clearing faults and re-establishing the original code. They are quite honest so far and won't charge you anything beside shipping cost, if they can't fix it. They are not a garage, so you will have...
Hi everyone,
Finally got my car back. I confirm that ECUTesting have managed to clear all faults on the ABS unit for a pleasant £250.00.
My total bill was £765.00, which include the pump unit repair, 3rd party pump testing, brake fluid replace, pressure sensor replacement (which was the...
Sorry, no idea. I am using David Lees Motor Engineering to sort this out.
On the good side, just spoken with ECUTesting and my garage and turns out that they (ECUTesting) managed to clear out all the faults. My mechabic will work on putting this back together and will let me know next week if...
Sorry, meant to say the tech support on live chat was an idiot saying that this model was missing in his database. Hence I never went further with them.
You are totally right mate. I've contacted EcuTesting again, through their live chat, but the guy said again the same thing as he did months ago "never seen this model". I shared the link you sent me and he responded that it was on his database and he will be contacting his IT to sort this out...
Hey Flo,
What Audi have you got? Is it a 2.0 TDI A4 2016?
Could you share with me your ABS pump module part number?
I've attached a picture of the ABS pump module that's on my car.
The part you shared from ECUTesting ends with "G" but mine ends up with "J".
Hi flo333.
I did called them a month or so ago and they said they've never come across this model so they were not sure about it. However, they were keen to try as long as the shipping cost was covered by myself (which is fair enough).
Please let me know how it goes.
From my end, Audi UK...
I see. I couldn't find someone in the UK being able to find a second hand replacement and willing to recode it.
And they can't find a rebuilt kit for it either...
Hi Flo333,
You are describing exactly the same problem I had in a similar situation.
Unfortunately, no ABS unit can be swapped between cars as the VIN isn't re-programmable. In other words, the only way to fix it is to buy a brand new ABS module.
I've spoken to Audi UK and the investigation...
Here is a quick follow up on the situation.
My VW Audi independent specialist confirmed that these ABS unit can't be rebuilt. No one came across this type of unit (yet).
A second hand one can't be reprogrammed either. I am thinking of filing a complaint to Audi head office. Might be worth...
Thanks Ian for your input. It is strange to get these type of problem such as a low mileage though.
Did you end up paying the full price of a new pump?
I am considering to send the pump over to a company called Ecutesting...
