VAG Group vehicles - Teves ABS failures #

Posted by Geoff Taylor on February 19, 2012, 12:12 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2004 on

fault codes 01435 brake pressure sensor1 (g201) we had golf in displaying above code after research on forums and google this appears to be a coommon expensive fault.
just like anybodys thoughts or experience about the reconditioning on these units by either BBA or ECU TESTING who both offer this service or another company?
due to complex nature and safety issues would like your comments before advising customer.

Have you tried a search on UKAT ? this has been covered a few times.

I understand VAG do a repair unit for these now but not used one yet. ( not needed one for VAG since it became available)

I have used ACtronics for repair on this unit (on VAG, Honda and vauxhall vehicles) who do a repair service £180 + carriage. This is an internal repair.

If you do go down repair rout avoid external repair that was offered by some suppliers, this looks like a bodge and in my opinion not an acceptable repair.

I've fitted many of the repair kits that VAG sell. Easy to fit and in my opinion a much better solution than sending for repair. Not to mention a much quicker solution.

A customer of ours used ACtronics to repair his ABS ECU on his 335i. It took three attempts. BBA repaired a Fiat EPS unit for us which failed after a short time. I only use these people when cost is more important to the customer than reliability.

Hi Aidan.
"If you do go down repair rout avoid external repair that was offered by some suppliers, this looks like a bodge and in my opinion not an acceptable repair"

I assume this is in reference to early BBA remaned unit. Yes it was a ugly repair but worked fine.
They are now internal repair (135 sterling + vat)

Dealer repair kit price seems to go up weekly and was about 280+vat about 2 weeks ago about 100 pound increase in 3 months (they have to get some money back on those free injectors) .

Geoff the choice is yours!

As an aside had one with the same system on a Susuki last week and new unit complete only 1366 pounds +vat eeerr went remaned unit

Regards
Kev.

Replaced an abs modulator on an 05 Touran last week.If I recall ,part from TPS is £280+ retail.I would not waste your time with any of these "black paint"companies on a safety related item.I have also heard that if the car has full Vag history ,then the job is done foc up to 60k miles.

Replaced a lot of these on audi/vw's for this fault. repair kit comes from vw for about £130+vat and is half the body of the abs unit. very easy to replace but abs ecu and steering ansle sensor must be recalibrated which is a tad tricky (vag com can do this though) if the unit from atp is repaired for £180 and doesnt need recoding after that may be the easier route to go down,not a hard job to do though.

Got one of these faults in today, customer wanting a price, if anyone could give me an estimate on time for fitting dealer repair kit and whats involved, would be very grateful.
Many Thanks, Graham.

Graham.

For a time we would need to know what model of car, some are easier than others due to where they fitted.

Normally easy if they bleed out OK. A couple of hours !

Hi all,
I was planning on using the OE repair for this one but as has been said it is now £280. BBA sent me one on next day delivery that was £100 plus carriage (£20 inc return of old unit). They give a lifetime warranty on the repair.
Regards,
Bryan.
