Volkswagen Transporter T5 ABS pump fault
The ABS pump and module fitted to the Volkswagen Transporter T5 is a commonly failing part that causes the constant illumination of the ABS and traction control warning lights. While VW updated the ABS pump during a facelift of the T5 Transporter in 2009, both old and new units fail in a similar manner. As well as these warning lights, earlier Transporter T5 models can suffer from a flashing handbrake light, an inoperative speedometer, and an erratic fuel gauge because of this ABS fault.

Commonly, an internal malfunction of these VW T5 ABS pumps will cause codes to log for 00285 – ABS Wheel Speed Sensor Front Right and 01276 – ABS Hydraulic Pump V64 Malfunction, or it may simply fail to communicate at all - a clear indication of failure.
Whilst standard braking will still be in effect, the emergency braking system will not function while these faults are present. As is the nature of an internal control module fault, you’ll need to repair your VW Transporter T5’s ABS pump to shift these issues.
Our VW T5 ABS Pump & Module Repair Option
When presented with this Transporter T5 ABS fault, many owners and industry professionals opt to completely replace the pump and module with brand-new. However, this isn’t just expensive and time consuming, but it doesn’t always guarantee a long-term solution.

Test and rebuild:
During testing the VW T5 Transporter ABS unit is run on our state-of-the-art, custom-built HIL (Hardware In-the-Loop) testing rig. The ABS will be tested under real-world load and driving conditions, which will identify any faults within the unit. Once all internal faults have been identified, our technicians will rebuild the unit and replace all commonly failing components with versions that are higher-rated than standard, and then extensively re-test to ensure that no faults remain.
Programming:
This unit is coded on installation to the vehicle, however, during the testing and rebuilding process we retain all coding so that the ABS is ready to go, once it is physically installed back onto the vehicle.
