My ABS light is on, the mechanic (reputable) plugged it in and diagnosed the problem to be with the ABS pump. He told me a new one would be worth more than the car but he can send it off to be refurbished. I am waiting for him to come back to me with the cost for that.
I asked him if I could not just buy a used one and he said no and explained it to me that a used ABS pump comes with the previous cars history and it would not work if I put it in my car.
I am confused then as to why used ABS pumps are readily available and having read some threads on here, other people have replaced theirs with used pumps. I am confused then as to how that works and honestly looking to save £'s!
Thanks for any advice!

If yours has esp you need that too, ecu are bolt on bolt off jobs. Takes about 20 minutes

I see alot of the pumps are being sold with an ecu?? Would it be safer for me to just buy that? Would I need to make sure the part numbers match the one I have and how do I find my part number?
Thanks again

Anyone able to assist me please, thank you!

Just swap the ecu across and you will have no issue
Only past 2014 with tps built in peugeots you need to match the ecu to the abs block

I really am at my wits end with this. I bought a used pump and ecu, I did make sure the one I bought had exactly the same part numbers. I had someone do the work for me.
The ABS warning light is not coming on at all when I start the car and it is still beeping and displaying an ABS fault on the display screen after a few seconds.

Does your speedo work ok?
Where are you in the world?
#9: Re: ABS pump confusion Author: old-git, Posted: Mon Aug 03, 2015 12:01 pm ---- Hi
I have just joined, sorry my first post is a query - my bad.
Just bought a 206HDi with 57k on the clock. 20 miles later the abs fault lights etc came up. 200 miles after that a front wheel bearing seized and took a cv joint out with it. I've just replaced the driveshaft and wheel bearing, I was hoping that all the cv grease etc was the cause of the abs issue but it appears not.
Now, when I can find out how to top up the gearbox and to what level, I'll take it for a run to see if it clears, but if not, I presume a new front sensor, tried on each side in turn, is the way to go?
Gratful for any help from anyone..
