Description
Product Overview
This ABS ESP pump, manufactured by Bosch, is designed specifically for the Citroën C5 III X7 model range. As a critical component of the braking system, it ensures optimal functioning of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP), providing enhanced control and safety during various driving conditions.
Function and Importance
The ABS ESP pump works by maintaining hydraulic pressure in the braking system to prevent wheel lock-up during braking, especially under slippery or emergency conditions. It also aids the ESP system in stabilizing the vehicle by modulating brake pressure individually on each wheel. Failure of this pump can lead to compromised braking performance, increased stopping distances, and loss of vehicle stability.
Application and Compatibility
This pump is compatible with Citroën C5 III X7 (produced from 2008 onwards) and fits a range of PSA vehicles under various part numbers. It is often sought after under reference numbers including 9674797480, 0265951416, and 4541RY. Its design matches the original factory specifications installed by Bosch, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable operation.
Replacement and Maintenance
Replacing the ABS ESP pump typically involves evacuating the brake fluid, disconnecting electrical and hydraulic connections, removing the faulty unit, and installing the new pump followed by proper bleeding of the braking system to remove any air. This part generally lasts the lifetime of the vehicle but can fail due to corrosion, electrical faults, or hydraulic wear. It is recommended to have this component inspected during brake system diagnostics or when ABS/ESP warning lights appear on the dashboard.
