Hey Ya'll,
My Abs module in my car has just died, and Part of dash has lit up like a christmas tree. I've got a handheld scanner, and its scanned the car and code 16352 has come up. I've checked all the ABS Fuses and they're all fine.
Do I need to replace the PUMP, or just the ABS ECU module?
The scanner has told me the parts and part number, but im confused with what Part number I should use when looking for new parts.
Part No: 1K097379CD
Parts: 1K0907379AD
My MOT is due in a couple of week and I would love to get this sorted asap. Any help would be great!

There was a recall on these through the dealers

As said this was a FOC for the G201 fault so ask the local dealer you may be lucky.
This is worth a read

If you do the job have the coding taken off the original unit with a VCDS scan or you'll give yourself unnecessary hassle to initialise the new Pir repaired one to work.

Unfortunately, the firmware has been updated by a VW garage back in 2017. I Asked VW and they said they could fix it, but i'd be paying privately as the recall has already been done :(

I'd remove your abs unit and send it to these guys, no coding problems then. https://www.ecutesting.com/common-faults/volkswagen/vw-touran-golf-v-abs-pump-module/

The government's MOT history website will tell you if your car is due any updates.......but unfortunately the ABS pump and controller are one unit.
The problem is they die with age, mechanically, because the ABS pump is seldom cycled during a brake fluid flush, which is the proper VAG procedure. Only dealers do this. DIY and back street garage flushes don't do it.
If the ABS pump is not exercised during a fluid flush, the cruddy old dirty fluid doesn't get pushed out of the pump pistons, which eventually leads to seizure.
It's a good excuse to upgrade to a MK6 XDS ABS upgrade though. Traction control up to 60mph (instead of the MK5's pathetically low 25mph or whatever it is) and also proper spinning wheel braking, aka 'electronic diff', traction control instead of the MK5's one tyre fire action.

hi Pudding,
could you help with part numbers for upgraded MK6 pump please?
I have the same problem and pump codes as original one above
thanks in advance

They usually ask for just the controller part, this needs to be split from the pump - BA Reman are another option

I have not done this, but looks like a great upgrade, but from research, it's not straightforward bolt off/on:
The connector is the same, but you need to re-pin wires to suit the mk6 controller
It also seems the pipe connections to each wheel have changed - requiring adapters.
A newer CCM
Then there is the VCDS coding required.
Not something you want to try to rush through for an MOT.
