are the dealership 100% certain that it is at fault ? - Basically they plug in their diagnostics and it's read all the fault codes. There was a wire which was broken underneath the car and loads of error codes were thrown up, so they repaired it and reset everything and re-ran diagnostics - the only fault code remaining was the ABS control unit failure. The only symtpom I noticed was that the ASR light was intermittantly permenantly on and then would just 'cure itself' and the light would go out (except when it used ABS) - never noticed any loss of ABS function though. I wouldn't really bother with it, but it's the wife's car and we've got 2 young kids so braking faults shouldn't really be ignored!! Also, I read that insurance companies may not pay out if you were aware of an issue which led or caused part of an accident. Thanks for your response!

Hi All, Got the fun news that the ABS pump control unit is faulty on my 54 Fabia VRS. Anyway the dealer (Martin Beever - York) have quoted £727 +VAT for Pump and Control Unit and £424 +VAT for control unit alone!! Can anyone offer any advice on the following: What should the labour time be on replacing the pump? I'm thinking of buying a spare from a scrappers (have seen pricing around £180 to £200 for the pump with control unit with 3 months warranty) - is this a sensible idea? Is there anywhere I can buy the new part cheaper? Can anyone recommend a good specialist in Leeds / West Yorkshire? Thanks in advance for any reponses! Dave
