Hiya,

My mom had this problem on her car aswell (eos).... so had this page saved just incase it happened to mine....

However, she bought the parts separately and got a local garage to fit the parts, I think it cost her about £300 in total ..

Hope that might help slightly

Yes ABS pump internal brake pressure sensor, we get loads in like this.
The ABS will work fine but the traction light stays on and the ESP button has no effect
VW do a rapair kit for certain models of pump, I think they have just reduced the price again due to bad publicity.
You basically get half the pump so you remove your old pump, refit the new assembley, re-fit to the car bleed the brakes  and code in.  :happy2:
