ford fiesta abs problem

[carlisletiger]

dont know where this should go so can admin please move it to where it should be .
We have a 2008 ford fiesta and the ABS light has come on . Had the codes read and it is 1095 - ABS hydraulic pump failure , does anyone know if it could be a broken wire or relay or something simple ? Ford want £1003 to replace the pump
In my opinion the pump shouldnt fail on a car less than 5 years old with 50,000 miles on it , the bloody discs or pads havent been changed yet so to have to fork out for a new pump seems excessive .
what i really need is the " simple fix " answer , failing that any knowledge of similar faults on similar cars would at least arm me for a rant at Ford customer services . Any advice greatly appreciated

Not sure on the fiesta abs system but fiesta abs second hand pumps are less than £100 in most cases.

on the bay they are around £150 secondhand , my concern is that an ABS pump shouldnt fail on a 5 year old car , the fronty is 13 and thats not had a new ABS pump

Sometimes these things happen unfortunately, is it within any warranty?
If not sadly Ford will not help

Did the techi at Ford check the wiring or just a diagnostic check?

I do hope one of the guys will be able to pin point an area for you to check, on a thought I think Gazeddy worked as a mechanic in Fords for a while.

Those Fiestas are known for that issue... Had a friend where i used to work who had the same issue. We ended up bolting a new one in only to discover it had to be coded to the ECU! Eventually got the original rebuilt by BBA reman i think!

yes i am/was a ford tech. 2008 fiesta doesnt use a coded abs pump but ive replaced one or two but not loads of em. sadly though that code looks like the pump is returning a death code not a comms issue or other thing.

is the car current shape or old shape and does the instrument cluster have dashes in it /speedo failure?

[carlisletiger]

the shape is the facelift old shape - the one with the little bubbles on the headlights . speedo works fine , so i dont think its water ingress like in other models , although the drain under the windscreen is directly above the ABS pump .
ive spoke to Ford customer services and expressed my concern that a car as "reliable" as a fiesta should suffer from such a failure and that this will obviously affect my decision when i come to change the car around november . I also mentioned that my 13 year old Frontera only cost me £70 to put through its MOT whereas a 5 yr old ,51000 mile Ford is going to cost me £1000.
I have to take it in to a Ford dealer on monday for an official diagnosis and then speak to customer services again.
will keep you informed of any result

had another look this morning and noticed that there is 3 fuses for the ABS - a 30 , a 20 and a 3 . the 30 amp fuse has blown ,changed it still got the light on but i presume that will need clearing - would a knackered pump cause the 30 amp to blow but none of the others?

[Gazeddy]

hmm never seen that fuse blow. but if its the 2001-2008 shape and not 2008 - present shape its rather common for abs pump to fail. but generally its only the electric part that fails and not the valve block

i got a serial number of 4S61-2M110-DA . Is it just the DA part i need to match up ? the one on the ebay link looks very good, same serial etc and only £830 cheaper than one from Ford
