VW 2004-07 - ABS/ESP, Code 01435 Brake pressure sensor - G201 #

Posted by Bryan Smith on February 3, 2011, 2:10 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2004-2007

Hi all,
I currently have 3 customers with this fault. I think my conclusion that the sensors have failed is correct. I have told all of these customers that the ABS pump/module is required and will look into the best option. It seems that I can, 1: Replace with genuine at about 1k, 2: Use a company called ECU Testing.com/Ltd who will rebuild for £350, or 3: Fit a repair kit from VW which is about £150.
I have spoken to the parts person at TPS who has told me that some garages have tried the repair kit and not been successful. As it seems that this is a VERY common fault has anyone got any other ideas or can let me know which of the above is best/cheapest/easiest. I could not see markings very easily without getting too involved but I believe they are ATE MK60's
PS. I have checked archives but can't find any mention of the second two options.
Regards,
Bryan.

Hi

AC tronics do the repair for about £180 +vat, turn round is a bit slow 2 - 3 weeks so if you use them warn the customer.

The VW repair kit is for the Teves MK60 ESP.
It is only to be used for the fault code 01435 - brake pressure sensor - G201.
So it's for the fault you have described here.

So far we have used Actronics, their turnaround has been within 2 weeks each time we have used them, the other benefit with using Actronics is this, if they cannot repair they don't charge for testing etc. They charge the carriage to get an ECU back to you. (Incidentally they have thus far had a 100% success rate with these units where we are concerned).

This is a very common fault with VAG & there is a goodwill system operating on cars from 2006 up with less than 50K on the odometer. Up to now we have sent 3 back to the dealer to have the repair done under goodwill. The owner just paid for the labour.

hth,

Jon.

Many thanks for your suggestions. ACtronics seems to be a good way to go, and not much more cost than the VW repair kit.
Thanks for the suggestion Philip but I have already checked the brake pedal switches in accordance with the Ross Tech info on this fault code. I have also spoke to dealer about goodwill warranty and they will only make a contribution if the cars have been serviced with genuine parts (apparently "Mahle" filters do not qualify????).
Regards to all,
Bryan.

Hello Bryan,

Go the OE route or the Actronics route.

If you go the OE route the new ECU is going to require coding in & adapting, make sure your scanner can do this, we had one dropped in from a local garage a couple of months ago who's KTS wrongly coded the unit - we had to iron it out with the Autologic.

Apparently the earlier Teves MK60 ECU's the KTS can code & adapt, the new ones it can't.Bosch are working on it.

If you use Actronics no coding will be required,they send back to you the unit you send to them.

Jon.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I was not aware of ACtronics so it was worth asking on here. I think it will be a safe bet that the customers will go for the cheaper option or carry on driving it as it is???? One of them has already said he might sell the car but I think that is just because his other half wants a new car

Many thanks,
Bryan.

We fitted one of the VAG repair kits to one of these Teves MK60's today,

You get a complete hydraulic modulator with new sensor pre installed, split the modulator from the ECU, (2 x bolts) slide the new one on to the ecu bolt it down at 5NM, fit it, bleed it (b**ta*d to bleed) - drive it round the block - job done.

It comes with a badly photo copied set of instructions that require a magnifying glass to read already in the box.

Bearing in mind to buy the modulator separately is usually in the order of £500 - 600, it makes this repair a bargain.

Put plenty of labour on it - they are an arse to bleed through, we manually bled it, used the AL 18 step procedure to bleed it & our Romess pressure bleeder to bleed it - eventually it got a decent pedal.

Many thanks Jon.
The parts person at TPS put me off the repair kit but after reading your post I'm willing to give it a go.

Sorry chaps, I wrote it was a bargain but never mentioned the price.

The repair kit from VAG is £130 + VAT - quite a bit cheaper than the BBA unit.

If you don't fancy having a go, ACtronics charge £180 for their repair - we've fitted a few of these & so far so good.

Jon.
