Control module and hydraulic unit, removing





Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
^ Torque wrench V.A.G 1331
^ Torque wrench V.A.G 1410
^ Brake Pedal Actuator V.A.G 1869/2





Sealing plug repair set, part no. 1 H0 698 311 A

After separating control module from hydraulic unit, always install transport protection on hydraulic unit for valve domes.

Warranties will not be granted for hydraulic units without transport protection.

1 - Transport protection for valve domes (foam)
2 - Sealing plug M10
3 - Sealing plug M12

Removing

Component location:

The control module is bolted to the hydraulic unit and is located at right in engine compartment.

CAUTION: Do not bend brake lines near the hydraulic unit!

- Read out and note present control module coding.
- Note or request radio code on vehicles with coded radio if necessary.
- Disconnect battery.
- Remove engine cover.





- Release control module connector in direction of arrow - 1 - and pull off - 2 -.
- Install Brake Pedal Actuator V.A.G 1869/2.
- Attach bleeder hose of bleeder bottles to left-front and left-rear brake caliper bleeder valves and open bleeder valves.
- Operate brake pedal using Brake Pedal Actuator V.A.G 1869/2 at least 60 mm.
- Close left front and left rear bleeder valves.
- Do not remove Brake Pedal Actuator V.A.G 1869/2.
- Place sufficient lint-free cloths under control module and hydraulic unit.

Make sure that brake fluid does not come in contact with the terminals.





- First, mark both brake lines from master cylinder - A and B - and remove from hydraulic unit.
- Plug brake lines and threaded holes immediately with sealing plugs from repair kit Part No. 1H0 698 311 A.
- Mark brake lines (brake caliper) - 1 to 4 -, remove and seal.
- Pull hydraulic unit with control module upward out of shock absorbers.

Control module, removing from hydraulic unit

Note:
^ Separation from control module and hydraulic unit is not possible on vehicles with hydraulic brake booster or hill assist.

- Set hydraulic unit with control module downward on to a clean, level surface.





- Remove inner Torx bolts E5 - arrows - from hydraulic pump.

CAUTION: The hydraulic pump must not be separated from the hydraulic unit.





- For this reason, secure hydraulic pump to hydraulic unit using red retainer - 1 - from replacement part set and two sealing plugs - 2 -.





- Carefully disconnect hydraulic unit with hydraulic pump upward at interface - 1 - from control module.





When removing control module, be sure that the valve domes of the hydraulic unit do not jam or get bent in the magnetic coils of the control module.

Item - 2 - pump motor adapter.

- Cover control module magnetic coils with a lint free cloth.

After separating control module and hydraulic unit, use transport protection for valve body.

New control module, assembling

CAUTION: Excessive shaking (e.g. dropping, impact) may destroy the control module. Control module must then no longer be used.

^ Before new control module can be assembled, pump motor adapter must first be inserted until it stops and engages. Adapter guide must not be damaged.
^ The adapter supplied as replacement part for control module can be engage only once and then must not be separated again.
^ The white grouting compound on base of control module serves as a seal and must not be removed.
^ All contact surfaces on adapter, pressure sensor and control module as well as silicon gel and sealing elements must not be touched by hand or objects, soiled or damaged.
- Press adapter into adapter guide until it stops, it must then be engaged.
- Place control module without canting it on to hydraulic unit.
- Bolt hydraulic unit and control module with new Torx bolts supplied.

Note:
^ A new control module may be installed a max. of two times to a used hydraulic unit, to ensure that the elastic gasket seals sufficiently.
^ A control module which was once in driving operation must not be installed a second time.

Control module and hydraulic unit, installing

Note:
^ Do not remove sealing plugs at new hydraulic unit until the corresponding brake line is about to be installed.
^ If the sealing plugs are removed too early, brake fluid can escape. If this occurs, unit may not be sufficiently filled or adequately bled.

- Installation is in reverse order of removal.
- Remove Brake Pedal Actuator V.A.G 1869/2.
- Bleed braking system Bleeding braking system
- Enter radio code.
- Code ABS Control Module J104 with in "Guided Fault Finding".

A Steering Angle Sensor G85, Transverse Acceleration Sensor G200 and Brake Pressure Sensor 1 G201 basic setting must be done.
