Hi folks, posting on behalf of my cousin thats havign an issue with his Passat.
He has a long standing issue with the ABS pump on his 99 Passast . H ehad it in a garage and was told his options are recondition or replace with one from a scrap yard (he's not in a position to replace new) . The garage told him a 2nd hand one would have to be coded to the car, costing whatever it is they charge for that (does the abs pump itself have it's own ecu? I would have thought any brakeing system ecu would be seperate, no? ). Assuimg it would have to be reprogrammed , would his own unit have to be programmed as well after it is reconditioned or will it drop straight back in?
It's showing a fault on the dash all the time.
Someone elwhere also suggested it might be an issue that could possibly be sorted with an ECU recode ?
Cheers for any help.
