Abs

[lyle-act]

yeah, my ABS has never worked afaik.

ABS just gets in the way of my driving 'style' anyway

ABS is a common failure , usually ECU but also pump .
There is about a 20% chance its gonna be a faulty sensor

Have you seen that many duff ECUs? I haven't heard of any going. I don't work full time on Dubs but they weren't that common failures in the UK.

Certainly sensors were 10 to 1 with pumps.

id get your car scanned for codes first up. if it picks anything up it may point u in the right direction

Yep , my own car was one of them . Just driving along and light went on . Cant remember the fault it was 3 years ago now .

But yes check for faults , if its not a speed sensor you might as well just pull out the globe cause a new ecu is around $1300 while a new pump is $5k . You wont find any pumps cause there is a guy thats been searching for 8 months for one for his car . The only places that have them want big $$$

I get the pumps reconditioned for around $700, done about 5 audi a4's and passats now and none of them came back with any problems.
