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.
- Disconnect knock sensor and vacuum hose valve connectors at rear of intake manifold. Unclip wiring harness from retainers on coolant pipe and lay it aside.
- Remove vacuum hoses on rear of intake manifold, remove from retainers and set aside completely.
- Loosen right rear coolant pipe from left and rear of engine.
- Disconnect both coolant hoses on reservoir with Hose clamps up to 25 mm dia. 3094.
- Remove both coolant hoses on reservoir and then set them as far aside as possible with coolant pipe.
- On vehicles with heat shield, remove heat shield.





- Press red securing clip in direction of - arrow - toward the rear.





- Release and remove connector from control module in direction of - arrow-.
- 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.
- Depress brake pedal at least 60 mm using brake pedal actuator V.A.G 1869/2.
- 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 terminals.
- First, mark both brake lines from master cylinder and remove from hydraulic unit.
- Plug brake lines and threaded holes immediately with sealing plugs from repair kit Part No. 1 H0 698 311 A.
- Mark, unfasten and plug remaining brake lines (brake calipers).





- Lift hydraulic unit with control module up and out of dampers - arrow -.

Control module and hydraulic unit, installing

Note:
^ Do not remove sealing plugs on 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.
^ When installing the hydraulic unit, make sure the damper rubber is not pushed out of the console.

- Installation is in reverse order of removal.





Fastening sequence of brake lines:
- Remove brake pedal actuator V.A.G 1869/2.
- Bleed braking system.
- Enter radio code.
- Perform ABS Control Module J104 coding using in "Guided Fault Finding".

A Steering Angle Sensor G85, Transverse Acceleration Sensor G200, Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor G251 and Brake Pressure Sensor 1 G201 basic setting must be done.
