VAG-COM fault 01276 - ABS unit repair in 10 easy steps.

[tshirt2k]

Just did mine. Just waiting for  tiger seal to dry. The SH one i bought was faulty too. Will refit test tomorrow.

Small sensor pins are easy. The lager ones need alot of heat to get solder flowing.

Tread revival alert!

T shirt can you fix my abs ecu again

thought i'd solved my abs problem by getting a pump fitted but still got it  thinking it's this problem anyhow i have just taken my spare one apart and can see everything the image has shown  Thing is the solder joints all look good under the silicon but does that mean it still could be the problem and its under the board which is wrong? looks like new with lid off should i still try this?

Flaming abs ey,mine has been faultless since t shirt sorted it,but last few days it been having a fit,light on ,light off ,light on,pump is kicking in making crazy noises without even touching the brake ,showing fault codes for rear right and left, handbrake light came on once for less than a second, looking like the ecu again,

Any one know what the values should be when testing each sensor with a meter im sure it was something like between 1 and 1.3 kohms is good,can someone confirm this.

I think 1.3k is too high. What's happend to it?

Doing my head in now i'm getting scared incase it snows because the brakes are just to dodgey for that  wish i could just sort this! i'm going to try this tip on here and if that dosn't cure it i'm going to buy new everything for it and get it all fitted properly then it should work

It could still be sensors. I had a new one that had failed after a few months and the car hadn't turned a wheel.

Alright russ, yeah I hope it is just the sensors , but both go down at the same time is pretty unlikely  will relpace them and go from there.So what should the kohm  be for a good sensor, you did tell me once but I is a goldfish 

[tshirt2k]

Anything between 1000Ω and 1300Ω is good.
Wondering what would cause unit to fail again? It was sealed up well, better than mine.

Either your engine bay gets really hot or it's getting wet due to no under tray.

[Screech16v]

After the conversion I should imagine the under bonnet temps are far greater,i do also have no undertray anymore as have not put it back on ,so this could be the reason/s, if its not the sensors.
