Description
Product Overview
This ABS pump by ATE is designed for use in Citroën C2 and C3 models, as well as Peugeot 207 vehicles. It is an essential part of the vehicle’s braking system, responsible for regulating brake pressure during anti-lock braking to prevent wheel lock-up and maintain steering control. The pump includes the control unit and comes with part of the wiring harness for easier installation.
ABS pumps like this are critical for safe driving, especially under emergency braking or slippery conditions. Faulty or failing ABS pumps can cause irregular brake pedal feedback, warning lights on the dash, or loss of ABS function, making timely replacement necessary.
Replacement and Maintenance
The ABS pump is usually replaced when ABS warning lights remain on, or during brake system diagnostics indicating pump malfunction. Installation requires disconnecting the battery, carefully removing the old unit, and reinstalling the new pump along with the wiring connectors. Professional tools and expertise are recommended, although experienced DIYers with proper knowledge can perform this task.
Typical lifespan depends on vehicle usage and conditions but can often last well over 100,000 miles. However, maintaining the brake hydraulic system clean and free from contamination can extend pump life.
