I believe companies, such as Reman do not use genuine OEM sensors. If the sensor is faulty, buy a genuine sensor and fit it. Mk1 TTs suffer from the same failure, and there's lots of reports that indicate only OEM sensors last. Your original lasted many, many years, if the first repair had used OEM, chances are it would have been the last repair.Crap, same song again.
01435 Brake Pressure Sensor 1 (G201)
012 Electrical fault in circuit.
Since the part is under lifetime warranty I sent an email on wednesday to BBE Reman but haven't got anything back yet.
No, the fault is permanent since the connection to the brake pressure sensor is lost. Stupid design to have it buried inside the hydraulic unit. The hydraulic unit can be swapped with a working unit without the need of reprogramming the ECU. Or the hydraulic unit can be repaired.Does the fault clear (dash lights)
When you turn off and on ignition
Blast!No, the fault is permanent since the connection to the brake pressure sensor is lost. Stupid design to have it buried inside the hydraulic unit. The hydraulic unit can be swapped with a working unit without the need of reprogramming the ECU. Or the hydraulic unit can be repaired.
We'll see how it goes. They weren't that fast responding the last time either.Blast!
Thought as much with your connection fault!
I had a sporodic G201
Turned out to be brake light switch!
You should like you say have a lifetime warranty very strange its failed again and they have ignored you
If you think how many cycles the actual pressure sensor has gone through in 15, or more years, it should be no surprise that it can fail. A pressure sensor is, at heart, a mechanical thing, pressure acts on a diaphragm, the defection of which is turned into a voltage. You cannot remanufacture such a part. You can only replace it with the best available part.
Mac.
Yes I read that too. I have some knowledge of pressure sensors, and it's my personal opinion that repair, and return to the original spec, of a 15+ year old one that has seen, probably, close to 0.5 million cycles, is almost as difficult as NASA's Artemis project.I don't know exactly how BBA Reman does it but according to this link https://www.actronics.co.uk/acinsights/ate-mk60 the pressure sensor isn't replaced. I have copied and pasted some of the more relevant stuff below.
"As soon as the pressure sensor has been carefully dismantled, the connection wires are barely visible to the naked eye, they really are microscopically small. Due to temperature changes and vibrations it can occur that these fragile wires eventually break."
"Once disassembled, it is followed by a delicate process in which we disassemble the pressure sensor, open it, recondition the microscopic connections, replace the pressure sensor, and then extensive testing."
"To further protect the new connections, we apply a special gel that protects against both vibrations and temiperature differences."
