Volkswagen Transporter T5 ABS pump fault
This ABS pump and module for the Volkswagen T5 Transporter is a commonly failing part that will cause the constant illumination of the ABS and Traction Control warning lights and an audible beeping on starting the vehicle. In addition to these warning lights; the Handbrake light will flash, the speedometer will become inoperative and the fuel gauge may become erratic.
Commonly the internal malfunction of these VW T5 ABS pumps will cause codes to be logged for 00285 – ABS Wheel Speed Sensor Front Right, 00290 – ABS Wheel Speed Sensor Rear Left and 01276 – ABS Hydraulic Pump V64 Malfunction, or ultimately it may simply fail to communicate full stop giving a clear indication of failure.
Whilst standard braking will still be in effect, the emergency braking system will not function while these faults are present. To resolve these Transporter T5 and VW T-Porter ABS issues supplying and fitting a brand new unit is not the right way to go.
Our solution, however, is a much more economical approach of rebuilding the original unit for a fraction of the cost of a new unit. This will also remove the cost of programming a new unit to the vehicle as we retain all the coded information, so no need for programming – simply refit and away you go. Unlike the short one-year manufacturer warranty, all of our rebuilds carry an unlimited mileage lifetime warranty.

Test and rebuild:
During testing the VW T5 Transporter ABS unit is run on our state of the art, custom built HIL (Hardware In-the-Loop) testing rig. The ABS will be tested under real-world load and driving conditions, which will identify any faults within the unit. Once all internal faults have been identified, our technicians will rebuild the unit and replace all commonly failing components with versions that are higher rated than standard, and then extensively re-test to ensure that no faults remain.
Programming:
This unit is coded on installation to the vehicle, however, during the testing and rebuilding process we retain all coding so that the ABS is ready to go, once it is physically installed back onto the vehicle.
