Onto ebay I went and found a pump with control module on there for just under £41 all in, purchased it and it arrived the other day, I took the ABS control module off to fit to the polo and this is what it looked like:
I fitted the module to the car anyway and it threw up no less than 5 errors on vagcom saying that all the speed sensors were not working and the 01276 code. I fitted my original module back on and it's back to just the one code again now (01276).
The unit i bought off ebay is clearly faulty and all that rust is certainly not doing it any favours. I contacted the seller on ebay and said it looked like the unit had been stored in wet/damp conditions and he said "does a car not sit outside in all weathers?" He then went on to say that it was tested before it was sold and he is happy to issue a refund once the item has been checked (security markings) and tested.
I am not out to scam the chap out of any money, just want a working part as described on ebay or my money back, I personally do not know how he will test the unit when it gets sent back as it came off a polo gti that he was breaking.
