G201 Sensor - ABS Pump/Control sensor module

[dub singh]

Both ESP and ABS light came on the dash permanently, checked it with diagnostics and it turned out to be the dreaded G201 sensor 

Since its quite a common fault, VW knew about it but didnt admit it.. typical!

They do however offer a repair service kit at a price of £600!!


Has anyone else encountered this problem? Anyone else use the repair kit or any other method of repair?

I found this on Ross Tech regarding the repair kit -

When found in MK60 ABS/ESP Brake Systems:

Check if the Repair Kit documented in TPI 2024465 or 2025290 with the Part Number 1K0-698-517-B is compatible, using the Repair Kit allows to replace the Hydraulic Unit (N55) and the Brake Pressure Sensor 1 (G201) separate from the Control Module which will reduce the Repair Costs.

Which lead me to this - http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/190784-how-to-repair-espabs-fault-with-vag-repair-kit/

The repair kit used to be around the 200 quid mark.  I've got to do one on an A3 so I will check the price I can get them for.

I've had the same issue with my Touran for a yr now. Cheapest fix all in I found was £450.
VW originally said they would pay 75% then reverted back saying it was 2mths out of warranty   
Even after several visits and a letter to HQ no joy! I even suggested timming belt and service at same time to sweet talk them. No chance! I've just left the light on!
