2008 RTP ABS - Fiesta pump replacement

Post by Plodbike1962 »

[size=13px]I run a R1200RTP. The brake failure light is on and I've had the system check at a dealer Coopers in Tunbridge Wells Kent. So the unit is faulty and needs attention. [/size][size=13px][size=13px][size=13px]I have read that you can replace the unit with a Ford Fiesta unit. I have now aquired a pump using the number given off another website. However the unit has two extra pipe holes obvs for 4 wheels. Can you advise which holes I should blank off and the ones I should use ? Thanks[/size]

Is it the motor that's u/s? If so, I think the accepted fix is to simply swap the motor over from the Fiesta unit, as they're identical. Did you do a search over on UKGSer - I assume it's you that's asked the same question over there?

Hi Yes I did and it was where I got the info from, pump number etc. But as you say I think its a case of swaping the motor now. Unless anyone knows better. Pleas let me know.

You might have already spotted it, but DrFarkoff (Jay) over on UKGSer has replied saying it's just the motor that is used - his business is BMWs, so he knows his stuff!
