With NO PRESSURE on the brake pedal the pressure reading in Measurement Block 5 should be within the range +/- 3.8 Bar. Using VCDS, connect to the braking controller. Then repeat at the rear and bleed both rear brakes simultaneously. Now use your pressure bleeder to 'pre-bleed' the hydraulics.įirstly open both front bleed nipples and bleed simultaneously. Refit the brake unions and refit the battery and earth lead. With the new part fitted the ABS/ESP unit can be refitted into the car. DO NOT separate the motor from the ABS unit! Be sure to keep brake fluid away from the electical contacts. Now replace the hydraulic unit with the new one supplied in the repair kit - this is simple (just two long setscrews, 6Nm torque). Pull upward and rotate the ABS unit out of its holder and remove from the car. Using the bungs supplied with the kit, block off the ports in the ABS unit to avoid fluid spillage.

Remove the brake pipes from the ABS unit - first the two pipes that enter horizontally and then the four pipes that enter vertically. Take a picture/drawing of the locations of the brake pipes as they connect to the ABS unit. With a stick/pole wedge the brake pedal about 60mm down from its resting position (this is to close off the ports to the master cylinder).Ĭlose the previously opened bleed nipples. Open the front-left and rear-right brake bleed nipples. Remove the electrical connector from the ABS unit. If the pressure reading is stuck at a high value, irrespective of the pressure on the brake pedal, then the G201 sensor has failed and you need to get the repair kit.ĭisconnect battery earth lead and remove battery if it makes access to the ABS unit easier (depends on model). If it is, then check the brake light switch and/or perform a 'Basic Setting' on the pressure sensor (see later).

When the brake lights just illuminate the value of the pressure shown in Measuring Block 5 should not be more than 4 Bar. The value of the brake pressure should be proportional to the pressure on the brake pedal. Open the braking Controller and go into Measurement Block 5 to monitor the brake pressure recorded by the G201 sensor. Gunson's EazyBleed).ĮSP light stays on irrespective of ESP switch position. Suitable as a replacement for the hydraulic blocks:ġK0 614 517 B, C, D, E, H, J, M, N, Q, T, AA, AB, AE, AF 3T0 614 517, 3TO 614 517 A and 2K3 614 517 I assume that the repair kits sold in the UK will come with English instructions, so just the basics are given here.

This is not meant to be a full 'how to', but rather to give enough information to enable a competent DIY-er to decide whether or not to undertake repair of the ABS/ESP unit following a 'G201 sensor failure' in the ABS/ESP hydraulic unit.
