Vauxhall Corsa ABS Repair

Like many famous global car brands, Adam Opel started out building bicycles and sewing machines; he built his first car in 1899, more than 35 years after founding the Opel brand. Today, the brand is known for models like the Vectra, Astra, Corsa and many more.

The Vauxhall (Opel) Corsa (d) – the ‘d’ refers to the age range of the car, so Corsa (d)’s were built between 2006-20014. The Vauxhall Corsa (d) mainly uses the Bosch 8 ESP in its ABS systems. Problems often come in the wheel sensors, pump motor and communication systems. Fortunately, these problems are fixable and we have extensive experience in remanufacturing Bosch 8 ESP’s.

What is ABS?

The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) ensures effective braking for vehicles. Before the advent of ABS, hard braking could cause wheel lockup, leading to skidding instead of controlled deceleration. 

ABS employs wheel speed sensors that transmit data to the ABS control unit. This unit modulates brake pressure, allowing maximum braking without wheel lockup by pulsing the brakes. 

ABS units consist of wheel speed sensors, hydraulic valves, ABS pumps, and control units. These individual components can go wrong, and individual fixes and replacements can restore the entire ABS unit.

Why should I get my Vauxhall Corsa (d) ABS unit remanufactured rather than repaired?

If a faulty ABS unit is detected in a Vauxhall Corsa (d), an owner may take it to a Vauxhall service centre, where the mechanic would likely replace the entire unit or attempt a minor repair. Our remanufacturing solution is more cost-effective and reliable.

By remanufacturing the Vauxhall Corsa (d) ABS module, we can address the root defect that caused failure by replacing the problematic component with a superior part. This minimises the chance of recurrence and improves performance.

Simple repairs fail to resolve inherent design flaws that lead to faults, and new units may contain those same vulnerabilities.

We have the expertise to fully remanufacture Vauxhall Corsa (d) ABS pumps, modules, sensors and all components, eliminating issues at their source.

Is remanufacturing good for the environment?

Yes, remanufacturing is far more sustainable than manufacturing or repairing ABS units, requiring fewer raw materials and less energy. It also keeps faulty units out of landfills.

Repaired parts often have a limited lifespan before needing replacement, generating waste. In contrast, comprehensive remanufacturing rebuilds ABS components to optimal condition using quality materials, minimising future landfill contributions.

Vehicle manufacturing has major environmental impacts from mining metals to factory energy use. By remanufacturing instead of new production, we greatly reduce these impacts.

Repairs may temporarily fix ABS units but can't address underlying flaws, sooner sending untenable parts to landfills. Remanufacturing enhances longevity, lessening demand for new materials and energy while achieving superior performance.

Where is the ABS located in the car?

The wheel speed sensors that detect potential lock up are inside each of the four wheel hubs. The ABS control unit, which processes these sensor readings to modulate braking pressure, is typically found under the hood near the engine. However, you should confirm locations by referring to the manufacturer's guide.

The ABS control unit that adjusts braking based on wheel sensor data is usually positioned under the hood close to the engine. The sensors themselves reside within the front and rear wheel hubs to monitor their rotation. Check your manufacturer's manual for specific guidance on locating any ABS components.

How much will a Vauxhall Corsa (d) ABS repair cost?
