I have a 1998 Passat 1.8T 20v SPORT estate
During the last 2 weeks the ABS light, and the (!) have been coming on intermitentally.
I took it to my local VAG specialist who plugged it into the diagnostic machine.
It recognised one fault- ABS control unit No signal (error code 01203)
He says Im going to have to have a whole new ABS control unit at a cost of just over £925 fitted :aargh4:
I have taken the car away to do some research. The part number I need is apparantly 8E0 614 111 B , but he says the new VW modified part number is 8EO 614 111 F :confused: He did say that either is fine for my car.
Can anybody suggest what I should do...... buy a 2nd hand item from a breakers or get my current one repaired. ....... or could it simply be a loose/ correded wire or connection somewhere????
Also..... is it true I can just change the electronic black boxes over off of the ABS unit as the garage want to do the whole lot including bleeding brakes etc?
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP :beerchug:
