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


Ollie
