Car Forum / Volkswagen / Water Cooled Volkswagen Cars / November 2008Replacing ABS Module 2000 Passat B5
Recently started getting beeping along with "BRAKE" and "ABS" and "STOP" lights on the inst panel. Scan looks like the following: Address 03: ABS Brakes Part No: 8E0 614 111 AH Component: ABS/ASR 5.3 FRONT D10 2 Faults Found: 01203 - Electrical Connection between ABS and Instrument Cluster 03-10 - No Signal - Intermittent 18256 - Please check DTC Memory of Engine Controller P1848 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent I suspect that mine is one of the common ABS failures which I have read about on the net. Hope to hear some recommendations and experiences of others who have faced this same failure, as well as with module sellers such as bba-reman, modulemaster, and so on. TIA, Andrew We have been discussing this problem on a couple of the Yahoo Passat groups. I had to repair an ABS problem with a 2000 Audi A4 and I used bba-remanufacturing to rebuild the module. I would recommend them and will use them again with other components! ;-) Also I think there is a write-up on how to remove the ABS module along with another write-up on how to actually repair them yourself if you can solder. BUT for less than $170, it is easier to let them repair it. ;-)  Signaturelater, (One out of many daves) > Recently started getting beeping along with "BRAKE" and "ABS" and "STOP" > lights on the inst panel.

I have read that one might need to take out the windshield washer bottle to get at the Torx screws which fasten the module to the valve body, and to do that would need to take out the fender well. It seems that it might be simpler to just unbolt the ABS unit and gently bend the brake lines a little to get at the module screws. > We have been discussing this problem on a couple of the Yahoo Passat groups. > I had to repair an ABS problem with a 2000 Audi A4 and I used [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > another write-up on how to actually repair them yourself if you can solder. > BUT for less than $170, it is easier to let them repair it. ;-) I have not done the ABS module removal yet on a Passat, but on the '00 Audi A4 I only had to move the P/S reservoir out of the way a little and then I could easily get access to 5 of the 6 bolts. Only one bolt was a little tricky but it was doable without removing the Washer bottle. I did not want to move that bottle either! lol TIP: Stuff some cloth or something down low to catch the bolts or tools that you might drop! ;-) Here is the website with some good pictures. http://passat-b5.ru/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=296&Itemid=57 good luck and I agree with your decision to use bba-remanufacturing too! ;-) Here are a couple of the Passat-specific groups to join! http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/passats/join http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/vwpassat/join Signaturelater, (One out of many daves) > Thanks for the recommendation dave.

BUT for less than $170, it is easier to let them repair it. ;-) If you remove the cowl cover to free the lines you can then remove the 2 side bolts and their pins. Then you can very gently, but firmly bend the lines and module assembly to access the screws holding the module to the valve body. I have no idea about where to reman, I only use factory parts to repair. > Thanks for the recommendation dave. For me, it will be better to let > bba-reman or the like to do the repair.

Definitely the beeping and other warnings will be a constant reminder to get the job done. > If you remove the cowl cover to free the lines you can then remove the 2 > side bolts and their pins.
