Volkswagen Bosch 5.7 ABS / ESP Pump Module Problems
The Volkswagen Passat and Polo are fitted with the Bosch 5.7 ABS pump (Advanced Braking System) control modules but unfortunately this particular pump has been found to be a very common failing part. If the vehicle has “Traction Control” there will be processes for ESP (Electronic Stability Program) within the ABS pump, however some vehicles also have an extra ESP module which communicates with the ABS pump. These can also be referred to as an ABS Pump, ABS Module, ABS ECU,ABS Controller, ESP module and ESP Pump etc.

Vw jetta 2007 1.9 tdi esp light on permanently how much to repair?
Hi Stephen
Thanks for the enquiry,
Commonly it’s due to the famous Brake Pressure Sensor failure as your vehicle will be fitted with a Teves MK60 ABS unit and not the Bosch 5.7 this article is referring to. The correct article for your vehicle would be here: VW Brake Pressure Sensor Fault
We have sent you an email with full pricing and information including costs for our fitting service if required.
