The BMW X3 (E83) from 2004 – 2010 is fitted with the common failing Bosch 8.0 ABS / ESP pump module unit. It is a widely used ABS pump fitted to a variety of vehicles including Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and some VAG group cars.

Until recent years it was not possible to repair the Bosch 8.0 ABS controller and so if it did fail, the only option would have been to replace it with a new unit. New replacement ABS modules are very expensive and require coding. We have successfully repaired 100’s of these ABS controllers and all our repaired units come with a Lifetime warranty, but some garages are still unaware that they can be repaired and may advise you to go for a new replacement part.

If you’re having ABS problems and suspect the ABS module to have failed, below are some common symptoms of a faulty unit:

• Brake Pressure Sensor
• ESP / ASR / TCS / DCS (Traction) Light On
• ABS Light On
• No Communication Fault
• Wheel Speed Sensor Faults

We have the capabilities to fully test & repair this type of ABS pump module and when rebuilding these units we use new genuine OEM components to ensure that every rebuilt pump meets & exceeds OE specifications. We also offer a professional fitting service if required.
