Dreaded ABS pump/ module issues

[E86montego]

Hi all,

In a real nasty situation with the ABS pump/ module. Mine has died and seems it cannot be repaired. I'm in dire need of a replacement part since BMW want a lofty £2500.

My part is seen in the images below.

Would anybody know if I have to use the same numbers or could I get a different part number and get its software refreshed? Also, does anybody know where I could get one from? The confusing part of this matter is down to the part numbers... I believe the 'overall' part number for both the pump and module combined is: 34516778490. However as you can see on the pictures it has other part numbers on the module (10.0961-0829.3/ 10.0614-3758.3) and the pump (3451-6778238-01). Thus funding a right one seems near impossible.

Huge thanks in advance for any help that can be given.

I'm sure this thread will become useful as it seems finding an ABS pump/ module for 2006-2009 cars is pretty much impossible. All our cars are getting to the age where they will need replacing soon, so any help will hopefully benefit everybody.

Have you tried both ecutesting and bba-reman? I don't know of many they haven't been able to fix.

Thank you for the reply!

Are they the same person? And are you referring to this: http://www.ecutesting.com/catalogue/product/bmw_z4_abs_pump__ecumodule_combined_amc916203.html ?

Links to both companies on that hyperlink I posted.

Okay thank you! It'll be going off to ECU testing next week. Have you had experience?

Was about to say AVOID bbareman heard lots of horror stories!

But then saw you've sent it elsewhere.

My daughter had her Abs pump repaired by Eco testing in Derby,they were first class.Many others have used them,
And they have a very good reputation .

 

[ph001]

Yep, be very surprised indeed if they don't sort it out for you

Yes

It's not usually both pump and ECU module that are faulty. ECU testing should be able to determine which it is. If it's the pump, most likely stuck brushes, easy fix. If it's the module, should hopefully also be repairable, but more expensive. Unlikely you'll need to go anywhere near the 2,500 new replacement path, but it's scary times while you await their diagnosis.
Good luck

I’ve used them and I found their services excellent, I’d recommend.

BTW.. For future reference, I've now repaired three of these for people..

Are you referring to the pump or the module? Apologies, this whole thing is terribly confusing to me!

Pumps in all cases. They seize due to lack of use as the traction on the car is so good.

Used ECU Testing first on a 2004 Sprinter & last year for my 22k miles Z4M Roadster. In both cases a great job, with lifetime warranty. No issues & no fault lights since.
Not a load if brads .... highly recommended !!!

I used ECU Testing to fix stuck bushes on my e86's ABS unit. Great service.
Movement of the unit from the removal from car & shipping freed up the stuck bushes. ECU testing tested the unit before repair and found it working, & called me to check if I still wanted to pay for the repair. I trust them. Still had the repair done as the bushes only get more gummed up over time, and once repaired they no longer fail in the same way.

Hope you get good news from them!

Ducklakeview; based on the top quality roof motor relocation work, ABS unit repair could get you more regular work, with a loyal forum following! I'd have asked had I known back then.

I'm sure andyfanshawe on here has used ECU testing in derby on some customers cars , so they must decent

Hi all,

In a real nasty situation with the ABS pump/ module. Mine has died and seems it cannot be repaired. I'm in dire need of a replacement part since BMW want a lofty £2500.

My part is seen in the images below.

Would anybody know if I have to use the same numbers or could I get a different part number and get its software refreshed? Also, does anybody know where I could get one from? The confusing part of this matter is down to the part numbers... I believe the 'overall' part number for both the pump and module combined is: 34516778490. However as you can see on the pictures it has other part numbers on the module (10.0961-0829.3/ 10.0614-3758.3) and the pump (3451-6778238-01). Thus funding a right one seems near impossible.

Huge thanks in advance for any help that can be given.

I'm sure this thread will become useful as it seems finding an ABS pump/ module for 2006-2009 cars is pretty much impossible. All our cars are getting to the age where they will need replacing soon, so any help will hopefully benefit everybody.

I had to buy a new unit, £2090 from main dealer for my '07 2.0 but you are welcome to my old broken one if any of the parts are of use to you, as someone mentioned, use the firm in Derby, I had a bad experience with BBA

That sounds great, apologies about the late reply. I'm still waiting to hear from the firm in derby, but if I hear bad news (I'm praying every living second for good news) I will most certainly take you up on that very kind offer!
