ABS Pump

[pauljo24]

Hi All,

Looking for help and advice please! Based in Brighton, work In Haywards Heath.

So I have a 118d 2005, pic below, due MOT 9th July. Mileage 125k

I'm away on holiday until the 14th, thought I'd put it through the MOT before I went on holiday.

I knew the ABS light was on and was getting the reason for this checked before I put it through the MOT. The light is down to the ABS pump apparently. The garage are saying this is £850 from BMW minimum, or they can get a company to refurb for around £350.

Has anyone any experience of refurb ABS pumps?

Thanks

PJ

I had mine repaired by https://www.ecutesting.com/common-faults/bmw/bmw-a...

No issues 24 months on.

That’s reassuring thanks, I’ve been quoted around £350 for this (inc fitting etc), sound about right?

£350 sounds about right for it fitted and (I assume) brakes bled and fluid changed.

I paid around £300 a couple of years ago with a 5 year warranty, done buy a BMW specialist.

Basically the pump is fine, but the solder dries out on the control board. Additional benefit of a refurb is that it doesn’t have to be coded to your car like a new one.

We use BBA reman, BMW do list a repair kit for some versions too.

Go with the refurb providing it’s a lifetime warranty... ask the question. I also used ecutesting and they were great.

ECU testing.com get my vote used them plenty and they always step up , my last ABS module for a MK6 Golf was turned around from leaving me to arrival and repaired in just 4 days

I have a perfect used one - it was new in 2015, not much use since.

Yours for 70 quid.

Check the part number though.

Reckon on 1.5 hours to fit it and pressure bleed the brakes. Check the part nos but 4 cyl ones are usually this unit.
