BRAKE ISSUE

OP - if you have 5DCA Hydraulic unit pressure sensor internal fault it will almost certainly be the ABS pump however BMW now have a repair kit costing approx £185 (inc VAT) which resolves the issue. This is for the ABS pump repair module. Its a very common fault but BMW have never recalled their cars to correct the problem as it was not cost effective for them.
Many thanks for that. Do i get the kit from BMW direct and does it have a part number? Sorry to be a pain!

Just checking the price from ECU Testing has come down significantly from £300 to £165 / £195 now so hardly worth buying the BMW kit. Worth getting a price from BBA Reman as well <links for both below>

The only thing that surprises me a little is you normally always get the DSC light on with this fault. Make sure you mention that fault code to them when you book the repair.
