Excellent breakdown, and explanation of typical ABS system. I am now a lot wiser! Many thanks 😆👍

Mate you are a legend, i have the same problem on my corsa d, drivers side, i thought my caliper was ceased so i stripped it, then thought the hose was blocked and then watched this video, you saved me a lot of messing about and garage fees, ordered a second hand one for 70 quid, thanks a million mate ☺

Brilliant video. My daughters corsa is having breaking issues where only the drivers side front brake is working. Sounds like the abs pump to me. I'll remove it and test it as you've described. Many thanks.

good video. the code on the valve body is more important because the control modules can be changed.

Nice vidéo. Same problèm With my Suzuki wagon R (going on left side during strong braking) . I Put 1 used one and everything is ok now. Thank.

Great video, thanks mate

Thanks for this!

I've solved this problem, first channel on the abs pump, more correctly valve, was stuck in closed position, front left wheel didn't brake. I heated the pump on oil radiator 😅 for an hour, sprayed valve opening with wd40, generously, and hit it with a hammer more than couple of times 😬 on that corner close to jamed valve, after that valve was unstuck and I was able to bleed the system, flow was restored and it's braking again. Also I used some hose from garage to blow air, with my lungs, in oil supply opening, there is two, air must go trough all four openings. You can try it without any fancy tools.

Nice vid mate 👌👍👌👍

I had this exact problem. I'm not mechanical at all so I took it to a garage who quoted me £792 to fix. It didn't feel right so I started looking around. Anyway I ended up buying a second hand part and got a mechanic to fit it. Less than 2 weeks later the second hand part is giving me the same issue 😟 Thankyou for breaking this down, at least I know whats going on.

Mine turned out be corroded wiring in the loop on passenger side and new sensor. Stressed that first diagnosis mechanic said it cost £800 to replace pump n labour. But took for 2nd diagnosis, plugged into a scanner and guys tested ohms (wheel speed?? Some other electrical terms 🤷🏽‍♀️) ...traced it to wiring and sensor. £270 job.

Great video

Nice one brother I have the same problem with my abs took me some time to work it out ordered one from ebay pump full of crap opcom says return pump inactive

Good information 👌🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

What tool was used to remove the 4 star patterned bolts?

Great video thank you

So an easy way to see if you have this problem is first try and bleed your brakes, if no fluid squirts out at pressure when brake is applyed then this is the fault. Is that correct? Great video by the way.

LOL 😂 putting a single magnet on to make valve open.. you lost me chief!

Hi before you took the old pump out did you have issues with the brake pedal being very hard?

My lads corsa pulls to the left while braking hard and sort of skids before stopping.its ok when braking steady and drives in a straight line.a mechanic check the servo and master cylinder they are ok..so he seem to think it's the abs pump

Good video. this as just happened to my mother in-laws car but drivers side brake won’t work will it be the same fault only noticed as I took it for mot test today

This video is really helpful thanks mate. Garage have just diagnosed this problem on my wife's 2013 model so Vauxhall obviously didn't change anything! Waiting for garage to give me a quote but if it's a lot I might have to sort it myself. I've seen some people on forums suggesting second hand ones would need recoding or something to work.. is that something I need to worry about?

Great video matey. When you say the car is pulling to one side. Is that just as you brake or when your driving say on the motorway?

Took my Corsa into the garage today to sort out a high pitched squealing sound coming from front o/s wheel - instead they came back to me to say I had the issue described in this vid and left my initial complaint undiagnosed. Weird thing was that the ABS light both before and after remained off and I hadn’t actually noticed any swerving when using the brakes. Reckon it could have been a bit of BS due to it being such a common problem with lucrative results in garage? They told me the car should be considered a breakdown until fixed, what would you say?

Brilliant mate just 1 thing probably a daft question but do you have to bleed the brakes after changing the pump

Hi there, when we change the pump, do we need to bleed the ABS pump, or we just only bleed the brakes?

Hi , I wanted to ask you if the other unit of abs pump that I have to buy must have ALL the same numbers or just a part of it , and the same two letters (mine is "FC"). Thanks

Good video bud, quick question . My abs light comes on , only when at 58mph or more. Any ideas ? .

Excellent video mate keep it up buddy Will DW40 affect the abs pump if I try one I got in me garage ?

Hello, thanks for your video, wich number on the pump is exactly the part number. And if i found one with the same motornumber is that als good or not?

My brake pedal is spongy & squeaks after I changed my ABS. Does this go away or has the garage not done it properly?

Wow, what a video, top banana mate. Heres a question for you, I have 2010 astra and randomly drivers side front wheel is smoking and the disc and alloy red hot as if brake is sticking on. I have changed pads and new discs and callipers are defo all free and working properly. This abs problem in your video, can it cause the brakes to stick on? Been to vauxhall and they agree nothing wrong with callipers etc.. and also thing it could be abs module. They still have car at minute investigating but I reckon they gonna say it is the module. After watching your 1st class video, if it it the module i might have ago meself rather than pay the £1000 I think they gonna quote me

Do I need a block with the right numbers on or does that matter a lot. I have changed mine abs block and its full of warning light now and a mate tells me it needs to be coded og a block with same model number as the old one. Mine is a Opel corsa D model

Hi. Great video. Is it easy to install a spare yourself if you but a second hand unit?

Hi I have Mariva 2011 when i press brake it feels like car push forward at low speed from rear brakes anyone have this problem with car please tell me what it coud be ABS or brake callipers.

Hi, I just have to connect it with the plug or do I have to change the management box with the original one?

Hi ..Nice video , I have to replace this pump on an meriva b , do I need to code or will it be plug and play like you doing?

do you have to bleed the breaks in order for it to work? I know it’s been 4 years but maybe someone knows?

Right on the spot! My corsa d from 2007 has the same damn thing, also the pessenger side. Until now i was still convinced the problem is the master cylinder the second piston that i think is stuck in the back of the cylinder and thats why i was thiking the abs unit doesnt get fluid pressure from the master cylinder. Can it still be the master cylinder?? I already checked the rest of the system except i havent opened the master and the abs.

same model which has the same problem in my tool I would appreciate if you can help with the solution

Are these coded to the car or just plug and play ? Cheers good info in video

Please show how did you bleed the abs pump and the whole line

Hello friend, i have the same issue, the front wheel dont break, but dont have error lights abs on the panel. Its possible? Obrigado

Any recommendations for a reconditioning company?

Your video is a brilliant help! Just one question when replacing with the new pump how do you reach the nut at the back when putting it back on. Cant seem to get the spanner in

How do you bleed the abs module? Is it same as bleeding all the brakes?

Hi my mechanics sent my one off for reconditioning but when it got back the rear brakes didn’t pump any fluid and front started working again. Is that even possible or is he tryna scam me?

i have same problems and i can change my car abs module now abs warnings light blinking in instruments cluster. what i do ? help me(vw polo)

remove the motor add the valve body to the nightly dishwasher and lightly tap the body of the ABS block to PERSUADE the stuck valve to release .. once the valve assembly is functioning as it should flush the passageways and valves with new brake fluid .

Do you have to bleed the the clutch as well if it’s a hydraulic clutch?

Hi. Ive changed my pump. Everything is fine but the abs light and brake light have came on and stayed on, is there a way to get them off. Ta

Is there any specialist to unclog the abs valve?

Hello there!! I got an opel corsa 2007 1.2 when i stop the car using brakes and then start it back up and try to drive away the breaks lock without me doing anything but if i stop the car using the handbreak and then start ut back up the car works normally...whats the issue here? (Sorry for the bad english i hope u understood what am i talking about)

My 2010 sri corsa d brake pedal went to the floor slowly one day, pumped the pedal and brakes worked fine for 2wks, it's been on a rolling road,all 4 brakes are fine and no leaks, could it be the abs pump or master cylinder at fault?

Hello. I replaced the abs block and noticed 2 brake pipes are wrong. Can something serious happen if I do not mount them properly? Thank you.

My sons just showed up on MOT failure so wanted to check what’s required. I hope I can get them to provide a reconditioned one and not rip me off £500 for a new new one. Fuming. Vauxhall really are shite cars.

You said start bleeding from the wheel farthest from master cylinder. I think its not correct should start with the wheel fartest from abs pump
