| Description of the problem | I just purchased my used 2009 vw rabbit. The abs light came on, traction, break light, esp. Went to the dealership and they stated the abs pump was not functioning. Many volkswagen owners with cars within the abs recall years have the same exact issue and volkswagens recall will only cover the module portion and not the abs pump (of course the most expensive part). I was quoted an insane price for the repairs and the part that needs repairs, when purchased, just happens to come with the recalled part (the electronic module). I called volkswagen and they stated that the recall was only for tge electronic portion and i would have to take care of the pump. I believe this faulty electronic module has everything to do with the pump failing. |
