ABS light on ...
« on: August 13, 2014, 01:09:39 pm »
A friend of mine has just rang to ask if I will scan his mk5 gt as he says his ABS light has just popped up and stayed on... Could this be the dredded ABS pump... Cheers.

I bet its a loose seat airbag wiring. Quite common but only way to confirm is with a scan

I believe VW now have a kit available to fix this as well. Much cheaper than a new ABS unit.

Hi, vw now usually cover this under warranty if it's the G201 sensor fault. Vw now do a kit that replaces the hydraulic part of the abs unit. They'd have to do the initial check to follow warranty procedures as long as this is the fault then it should be covered! Give your local dealer a call :happy2:

Ive got this fault on my jetta, happend today, was driving along then noticed the ABS and Traction light up, drove home turned the car off and back on now only the ABS light is on? Havent taken it out since but my guess will be the traction light will come back on. Hope its not going to cost an arm and a leg as i really cant afford it :-(

Thanks for all the info guys, I have passed on the good news about the repair kits and reman units, Made him feel a bit better as he has been told 4 figures to repair it...  Not sure VW will want to know as it has no VW service history, But you never know it may be worth a try.  :smiley:

Fixed mine today, got it scanned with vagcom, it was the rear right abs sensor on mine.
