    Problem with "short-to-ground" VAG-COM

    Thanks for your reply Ian. I have checked the connection for the fuses on top of the battery and they look fine, I have also measured the resistance over them and no remarks there.

    Problem with "short-to-ground" VAG-COM

    I have now checked all ground points that I could find under the hood and made sure they have proper contact to ground. I have also taken the fuel pump relay apart and sand-papered the contacts for improved connections. The failures are unfortunately still there with frequent stalls of the...

    Problem ABS pump unit

    No worries, I know these cars have a lot o different systems. According to haynes, there are even several models of the ATE unit before they changed to bosch. I will try as long as possible not to get air into the system so if I find out that its doable to remove the electronic part, I will give...

    Problem ABS pump unit

    Thanks for the replies so far. The system is made by ATE and I think it will be hard to remove the electronic part without removing the pipes. I have now ordered a used replacement from a junk-yard. It will hopefully get here in a couple of days. I will the try to see it it is possible to change...
