VW Golf / Audi A3 ABS Pump – Causing Light To Remain On

The ABS pump and motor found in VW Golf, Audi A3, and TT vehicles is a commonly malfunctioning component, leading to the persistent illumination of the ABS warning light and the impaired functionality of the emergency braking system. This issue often manifests with specific fault codes such as 01130, 16352, and 01276.

Unlike previous generations that suffered internal faults in the ABS hydraulic section, this iteration typically experiences electronic failures within the module itself. Despite spanning over a decade and multiple vehicle models, problems related to the ABS motor, block, and pump persist, causing the ABS light to remain on.

Manufacturers do not provide repair kits, usually necessitating the purchase of a complete ABS pump replacement, incurring additional costs for coding. Even new units from the manufacturer may retain the original design flaw, making them susceptible to malfunctions.

In contrast, our solution is more cost-effective; we offer a full rebuild of the original unit, addressing the design flaw at a fraction of the cost of a new unit. Unlike the one-year warranty on new units, our rebuilds come with an unlimited mile Lifetime Warranty, providing both financial savings and peace of mind.
