Golf GTI 16V ABS Pump Problems - Help!!

[oriches]

I have a 1994 Mk.3 Golf GTI 16V (2.0L) and the dreaded ABS warning light is on and it needs an MOT.

The local garage says it needs a new ABS pump and I will cost a lot of money from VAG for the parts.

The computer is reporting fault code:

00280 VALVE 2 FOR DIFFERENTIAL LOCK - N127

I had a look at the part on the car and it appears to be made by 'ATE', the only numers I can find on the part are:

ATE 10.0447-0743.3

0014007430012872 (bar code)

M12844


Has anyone else experienced problems with the ABS pump on Golf of this age and how much did it cost to sort out.


Thanks in advance

I am just doing one at the moment (98 VR6, same parts) and it needs a new ECU and pump, the parts are just over £1000 and cannot be bought from ATE, I tried today. You may get away with just a new ECU with that code or even a repair by BBA Reman who are in Kent even though it looks like they are only in the USA http://www.bba-reman.com/content.asp...eman_in_boston
