[s-cars] ABS Hydraulic Control Unit

[Dan Slagle]

Dear S-Car Listeners:  My ABS and Brake light has been on for a couple
of weeks.  Prior to this, it was intermittent, i.e. come on for a day,
and then go off.  I recently had the Driver's Outer CV Joint and the
Boot on the Passenger Side replaced.  I had a mechanic inspect the
sensors this AM, and they are not loose. He connected his laptop to the
car, and the On Board Diagnostic VAG reading - "ABS Control Pump
intermittent".  I can not remember the code number, but the mechanic
said it could be dirty fluid, or an electrical problem with the control
unit, or worse case scenario - the control unit itself.  I asked about a
dirty or malfunctioning sensor, and he said that there would be a fault
code if it was a sensor problem {thinking that perhaps the CV Joint
replacement had something to do with this problem}. He also claims that
you can not remove a sensor to inspect it, without destroying it.  I am
looking for any BTDT.  Thanks in advance for your time.
