How difficult would it be to fit a second hand abs pump on a BMW compact 316i? The BMW stealership were quoting silly prices for supplying and fitting a brand new pump and refuse to fit a used or reconditioned unit. The 'new' pump is identical(same part number) |

D prob wit d bmw is, wen u repl d abs pump or module, ul hav to link it up wit d ids to reinisiate it to d pcm. Also while bleeding d system it needs to b hooked up to bmw ids. No way sum1 else can do it.

Wer i live d bmw/landrover/audi rate an hr is round R400. Nd theyr nt gonna charge u jst half an hour.. Ul pay 1hr wds nd then another hr for labour. Ul look at roughly R1000 for labour incl tax. Then d parts nd consumibles. I dnt undrstand why ppl who owns landrover, bmw, merc etc always complains about maintanance costs while they knew it even b4 they bought d vehicle..

Hey! I'm not moaning about normal maintenance etc but I do take issue with an abs pump failure on a car that isn't that old anyway an independent bmw mechanic reckons it's a two hour job(must like coffee!) and has quoted me a reasonable 100quid. Got the pump from a salvage yard for 110 . I've saved myself a fortune!
