Known Volkswagen ABS failures

What the sources report for these models, before anything else is replaced.

  • 1998-2006 Volkswagen Golf / GTI (Mk4, 1J)

    A rebuilder lists the common failures for this module as 'ABS Warning lights are on', 'ABS Pump motor codes' and 'Wheel speed sensor code' (1998-2001 Beetle/Golf/Jetta); its MK60 page adds no communication with the module and a non-working speedometer. source ↗

  • 2006-2018 Volkswagen Golf / Rabbit / GTI / Golf R (Mk5-Mk6)

    A rebuilder: faults relating to the ABS motor, block and pump cause the VW Golf, Audi A3 and TT ABS light to remain on, and 'ABS pump and module failure is caused by internal component breakdown'; a rebuilder ties 16352 on the Golf Mk5 to an internal failure of the ATE MK61 control unit. source ↗

  • 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat B5 / B5.5 (sedan, wagon, 4Motion, W8)

    A rebuilder lists 'Loss of communication' as the common failure of the pre-programmed Bosch 5.3 module; a rebuilder's 5.3 rebuild targets loss of communication, intermittent functionality and wheel-speed-sensor faults by restoring failed internal connections. source ↗

  • 2009-2020 Volkswagen Tiguan (5N, first generation)

    A rebuilder lists the 2009-2017 Tiguan module's common failures as no communication with the ABS module, all ABS warning lights on, speedometer not working, ABS pump not working and wheel-speed-sensor codes. For MK100 units it describes a hydraulic-block fault where brake calipers stay engaged after the pedal is released. source ↗

  • 2004-2010 Volkswagen Touareg (7L, first generation)

    A rebuilder: the Touareg ABS pump and module fitted 2005-2008 'can be very problematic'; the ABS warning light becomes constantly illuminated with codes such as 01276 (hydraulic pump V64, electrical fault in circuit) and/or 01130 (ABS operation implausible signal). source ↗
