Having suffered my second ABS pump failure in 2 years I don't fancy buying yet another used item only to have it die again.

I have heard they can be reconditioned and a quick google brings up a couple of possibilities.

Does anyone have experience of this?

Alternatively if anyone has a second hand pump which is cheap enough (50 quid-ish) I might as well just go and replace it. I can always get this one reconditioned if the other one plays up..

Makes sense to buy a used one for like 30-40 quid rather than spending 100+ getting one fixed. Is it the pump or ECU failed?

 

[kfp]

I can't find any for 30-40 quid. The cheapest on ebay are for the entire unit at around 170. I assume it's the ECU part rather than the pump block as they are prone to failure.

What type of unit is it? Bosch 5.3?

I'm not sure if it's 5.3 or 5.7.
Here is the number:
0 265 216 781

Thanks for the link

That's a different part number.. are you absolutely sure it will work?

Edit:
I took the previous number from the pump body.

The ECU sticker has:
0 273 004 495

This car is quite a late model - The ABS unit also controls EBD

Part numbers don't matter but you will need an ECU with EBD control. It was quite difficult to find one when I was looking, a lot of sellers don't realise the difference so I had to ask them if there was 3 rows of pins on the connector.

Hope this helps
