BMW 1 Series ABS Pump Fault Causing Brake Binding

The ABS pump in BMW 1 Series (F20, F21) is a frequent culprit, leading to brake issues such as binding, where the brake caliper sticks even after releasing the pedal. This problem commonly affects the 116 and 114 models, spanning the entire 2011-2019 BMW 1 Series range.

Interestingly, the malfunction may cause the brakes to engage automatically when the windshield wipers are active, significantly slowing down the vehicle without any brake pedal input. Despite these issues, the ABS warning light remains off, and no faults are logged in the ABS module, offering no warning before or during the malfunction.

Typically, garages address the brake lock-up by purchasing a new ABS pump from the manufacturer, but this proves costly and may lead to future failures after the short one-year warranty. We present a more economical solution: the reconstruction of your original ABS pump and module. This option not only comes at a fraction of the cost but also retains the original programming, addresses the design flaw, and includes an unlimited-mileage Lifetime Warranty, all completed within 2-3 working days.

By opting for our rebuilt ABS pump, you can be confident that it will no longer cause brake binding or lock-up issues.
