T5 Transporter ABS ECU Questions

[Ramigojag]

Hi everyone.

I have a failed ABS ECU in my 2007 T5 2.0L (AXA) part number for the pump is 7H0 614 117.

This is a bit of a budget resto so looking for once second hand can't find any on eBay or at local wreckers. A few on eBay whilst having a different part number for the pump (Such as 7H0 614 111) they have the same ECU part number as mine 7H0 907 379.

The last letter is different in a few listings, but from my understanding these are supersessions not completely different ECU's

I understand they will need coding to the vehicle, but has anyone ever bought a used modulator and taken just the ECU off.

I am assuming my pump is good and its just the ECU is bad.

I was just browsing a site in the UK that specialises in rebuilding them , but I doubt it is worthwhile send the old one to the UK due to freight and time . They do say if you send one it will be returned with original coding so no need to reprogram anything , they only reprogram them if your original pump has an issue .7H0614117A / 10.0212-0019.4 - Volkswagen TRANSPORTER - ABS

Thanks for the response.

I've been in touch with a couple of local ECU rebuilders. One has said yes they can do it for $1100. The other said no, some parts in that system are not repairable and some parts are no longer made. Still waiting on a response from another

Now I'm not sure if I believe the first rebuilders.

I found a listing for a new old stock one matching part numbers in Germany for about $2000, but interestingly they say in the listing it is also compatible with part number 7H0 907 379 P, which matches up to another thread i read i think on a different forum where someone with the same part number as me was told by a VW dealer that the P part number is also applicable.

I have found a ECU ending with N for only around $130 so kind of tempted to order that and see what happens when i try and code it in. Almost feel like its worth the risk. Could always re sell it if it isn't compatible with my van

I just got in touch with that company. Seems like a pretty good deal. They can hopefully repair it for the same price as a used one for sale. Shipping will probably be a bit pricey, but probably better off knowing you have a good as new one than a second hand one which could last another year

Old thread, but just here to say I fixed my ABS problems by soldering all the pushed in pins on the ABS board. Pretty easy too.

I had issues with the fuel gauge, wouldn't read past 3/4 full when totally filled, and from about 1/4 tank would read suddenly low/empty. Was weird, thought I'd just have to replace the fuel tanks level sender. Was also having ratio issue errors in the auto box, they would throw the "all lit up gearbox numbers" but make no driving difference and clear themselves after a while on the same drive. Was quite odd. The autobox ratio errors may not be related, and may have relearnt by itself, but anyway....

One day the dash lit up with all the ABS errors, three lights from memory, and the fuel gauge started the "pinging sweep" which drove me nuts. ABS no longer communicating at all. Did my research and figured I was up for a ABS module repair or a replacement. I opened the module and the push through, non soldered pins jump out at you if you have ever done any sort of electronics, and had read of the "resolder fix", so went ahead and soldered the lot. Fixed everything, and it's now several hundred kms down the line error free. Fuel gauge works perfect now, and the gearbox is also suddenly error free.

Just a FYI for anyone else out there having the T5 ABS "fun".
