Got the info for that :-)

But first I'm using the vin i got from an identical van as mine was before the mods except that it is 08 and abs/esp and later clocks, just to keep it simple :-)

I'm fairly certain it'll work on the new abs pump, another tricky thought is when i replace the abs pump, it's going to take a shed load of bleeding i think, i wonder do any of you have experience with bleed master? I assume i need my laptop in hand at each bleed nipple undo the nipple then activate bleed on ids then close nipple? Then work my way around? Not too sure of the procedure :oops:

Do you have to swap the whole pump? Or can the electronics just be swapped?

IDS will provide instructions. It will most likely be the same as for connects. open both front bleed nipples first. Close when IDS promps you to, then do the same for the back.

PS:- Ideally you should have a brake bleed pressure bottle connect to brake reservoir & keep an eye on fluid level. It will drain fairly quickly :!:

As it's a different ABS/ESP pump replace complete unit :wink:

Will do

i clicked on bleed master once before and it pummeled the pump and said failed don't do that again :lol:

With all these failed tests lately i decided to check out my esp so went over the dual carriageway and gave it beans, the back end slid over and the esp kicked in

Hopefully I'll know what's what once I've fitted the pump, I'll update then :-)

Gave the abs pump a clean and sprayed the motor bit in primer, would have finished it in matt black but someone has fleeced my 2 tin's of spay

I hate brake pipes and the brake pipe spanner, limited movement and impending doom as your brake fluid drips away, i know i should have emptied it out but i couldn't be bothered :lol:

Fortunately the pipes go up into the abs so the only fluid you lose is from the reservoir, i swore at and fitted the new pump and struggled with the brake unions but it went well.
I filled up the reservoir and that was it :shock:

Ideally you should remove the 2 large pipes on the left first then the 4 on top then refit the 2 left which fills the abs up then the 4 on top.
Once done, i got the boss to jump in and we went through the brake bleed procedure, next to nothing came from the front caliper nipples, i left the back.
I will do an ids service bleed later on.

In ids i checked for fault codes and got this.

It is different to the last time before i fitted the new abs unit. :-)

I went to module installation and install abs and it ran then said install new module (usually you have your original then run them when it reads install new module you then install the new 1 but usually through that, ids copies the data from the first 1 and pastes it onto the new 1, mine being no good i did it all on the new 1 in the assumption that it copies the new 1 to the new 1 but integrating it with my van/whether that makes an ounce of difference i don't know, or care :lol:

Then i had a look at the system and calibrated the longitudinal sensor and steering sensor and turned on hill start assist.
For the record, abs is a dumb module, just wants initialising and calibrating. :-)

And on the way home....

Tadaaaaaaa

Thanks to paul for his help with thrashing out a solution.
Thanks to punto for his help with parts
And thanks anyone else who contributed.

What shall i do next then :mrgreen:

all i have to say is you are one cleaver f*** :lol:

Ah good man punts:-)
I have washer jets that clip onto the wiper arm but they're not very pretty but i noticed the ones on the iveco daily today look cool, but they look connected to the wiper blade :shock:

I'll get some heated seat pads sometime, looking at the wiring diagram they are plug and play, the switches have thermal protection, do they go off after a while or are the switches not momentary? Do you turn them on and the switch cuts them out??

Not into single wiper tbh:-(
Heated yes :-)

Air con.... Fook that have you seen the wiring diagram? I could do it but the hassle for gains just isn't worth it for me I'm afraid, besides if i want to feel the cold in my van I'll pick on the mrs :lol:
