Hello

 

I have a Skoda Octavia II 1.6 Fsi and I've been told that the ABS pump needs replacing. When I spoke to one garage, they said that the pump and unit are separate parts but when I spoke to another garage, they said that the pump and unit are all one piece. I'm confused on which garage to believe. Which garage is right?

 

Thanks

Usually the pump is a separate part to the ECU, well it is on the VRS anyway as I have replaced mine years ago when I had the three amigos (ABS,TCS and TPMS) lights when the G201 sensor went south.

 

Hope this helps,

I've had a price come through from one garage stating that it would cost about 1300 to do the pump. The garage which I'm relying on have said nothing about the price.

A workmate of mine is a mechanic but he said that it would cost about 850 for a replacement or he could try to repair it. I'll have to wait till Tuesday for him to have a look at it. Have seen that you can get recon ABS pumps online though.

We had the ABS module go on our Mk2 VRS. I sent the old unit to ECU testing for repair. It was <£300.

BBA reman also do them, but I've not used them and their reviews are not so good.

How do you find the part number on the ABS pump?

You can get it through a VCDS scan

 

I don't know how anyone other than Skoda can say £1300 for a pump swap. I don't know how much the pump is to buy new but the actual swap isn't a difficult job even for a non-mechanic. I got a second hand MK60EC1 (with ESP and HHC) on eBay for £90

The garage I asked said it's about 980 plus VAT. When I looked on ECU Testing, they can do them for about 250-300 for a recon one. I have asked a Skoda dealer to find out the part number for the ECU on mine. I have not got access to a VCDS scanner. I'm not sure if my brother has got one or not.

Is there a Bentley sign above the door?  £876 for labor and a litre of DOT4 to remove and replace an ABS module...?? 

 

Will you not know the part number when you remove the ABS block? Itll be stamped/printed on it.

I have got in touch with a workmate who has offered to have a look on Tuesday. He had the same issue on his Audi but managed to fix it. I have seen some recon parts on Ebay, a few online breaker yards and ECU testing. I'm not exactly mechanically savvy with cars but my mate in work has his own garage and should be able to identify the part needed for my motor.

Hi

I've been told that the part I need has a part number of 1K0-614-117 H BEF. Finding it a bit hard to find this part online.

Have you called ECU testing using the part number from the part that was on your car? I'd be amazed if they couldn't sort it for you.

do we need to reprogramme the new abs module after replacing?

 

or is it a direct swap...

 

thanks

Yes - it will need coding and probably some basic settings completing.

 

To make you life easier, make you sure read the coding from the original ABS module before you remove it!!

thanks.

Have got in contact with my brother and he reckons that you need a 4 post ramp, transmission jack, diag computer and brake bleeding equipment to remove the ABS pump and to send it to ECU Testing. I have been looking around on Ebay and have seen some recon ABS pumps for about 100-200. I also noticed on ECU Testing that for a new pump, it will probably cost about 500

Whenever I need to do a job, I like to have a look on Youtube to watch a video showing how its done. I have linked an example for you. Aldo, do search forums for advice. NB Octi is same as Golf 5.

Just had a mobile mechanic remove the ABS pump and I'm about to send it to ECU Testing. I am just wondering about the weight of the ABS pump. Any ideas?

I packaged mine up securely and the post office weighed it on their scales.
