Abs power unit Teves or Bosch?
« on: 09 April 2015, 18:42 »
Anyone know which unit is fitted to an 0556 plate gti? I suspect it it is the Teves which is less reliable so I,m told.Should a failure occur (apparently it does happen!),what replacement is fitted and how long is the job guaranteed for? Having read the cost,a lifetime I hope.my buggy being 9 years old ,would not be overly optimistic of a happy response from Dealership.

I posted in your other thread a few weeks back that if you have this problem it will be fixed FREE OF CHARGE by VW regardless of age / mileage

What you will get is a repair kit fitted; not a new ABS pump

Understand your comment ,but reading a lot of other posts it does seem that owners have very mixed responses some being told they would have to pay fully, others not being charged. At all?! and in between.My query was if Vw do replace what length guarantee is offered on their work, even more important should you be one of the unfortunates who are not helped.with costs of in region of £1500,! May your confidence in VW doing the right thing prove correct. I also queried on what was normally fitted to the 06 plate,as it seems the Bosch is less vulnerable?

That depends on how pushy you are. At the end of the day its a safety issue and it is a FREE OF CHARGE REPAIR so don't let VW, dealers or VW UK fob you off

The repair carries the standard 2 years parts and labour warranty
