01435 Brake Pressure Sensor 1 (G201) a possible pikey fix, who knows?

[Bellend]

So I got asked to full service a Touran, sort an inlet flap motor and have a look at an ESP/ABS issue if I got time. Already been to 3 garages, all sensors changed and still nothing.

Well I get it in and take a looksie.

Typical VAG module failure with the brake pressure sensor. Tell him the price and he says well we'll have to get that done soon.

Just before dropping the vehicle back I decided to give it a bit of a clout with a socket extension and a hammer. What have I got to lose?

Nothing excessive just a firm tap.

Anyways drop it back which is less than  mile away. He rang me yesterday and said it's been off for the first time in 2 years for a complete 2 weeks.

Coincidence? Possibly. What have you got to lose?

Ha ha brilliant ! You usually have to replace the abs pump for those. Tps do a repair kit.

some people have had success getting the dealers to do it for free out of warranty. I might have to give the pikey fix a try, it's scary how common this fault is.

[George k]

That fault code will get repaired under warranty as long as its a uk supplied car and mileage is not too excessive

got vw to do this under good will years ago think the mk5 did it in 2009 or 10  didn't take much perswading for a £1300 bill to be sub 300

VW basically said get lost. Not quite sure why! Be interesting to see if it works on anything else!
