2004 TDI90
Dash warning light appeared last week and abs and esp lights are on.
Got a scan done: 01435 Brake Pressure Sensor 1 (G201) Electrical fault in circuit.
After lots of research it seems to be a common problem across VAG group cars and others.
I am going to change the brake light switch in the next couple of days just in case, but have been advised this is unlikely to solve the problem. The brake lights are still working. Do I have to have the fault cleared from the memory to find out if this has been successful?
It seems I can get the abs unit repaired at BBA-Reman or ECU testing who are both charging £165+VAT but neither can do this on an exchange basis, only a repair your own unit in 3-5 working days meaning we are off the road for probably a week.
Does the club or any member have a defective unit that could be exchanged so the job could be done in the day?
My unit is 8Z0 907 379D
I intend to have a local garage do the changeover as I am fearful of bleeding the brakes afterwards. I have no diagnostic equipment. Or is it easier than I imagine?
Tried one local independant garage who explained they don't touch A2's! "When they get to a certain age"
