C6 ABS module Removal Question.
#21
I just did this yesterday and shipped my ABS module to ModuleMaster. I had to remove the phillips screw holding down the coolant resevoir. Disconnected the harness. Removed the 2 nuts holding the ABS pump to the metal bracket. Removed the upper screw holding the metal bracket. Removed the 2 lower screws holding the metal bracket (hidden under a wire loom). I was then able to carefully "tweak" over the whole ABS assembly away from the bracket just enough to get a wrench on the four E5 Torx bolts. Carefully remove the module straight away from the ABS. After that I wrapped everything in Aluminum foil as suggested by modulemaster. Packaged, shipped, BAM! its off for repair.
Now I just have to deal with lights and sounds of the dash Christmas tree. Just wish the tune was a little less nagging. ;-)

[QUOTE=Chaldean;24263458]So I'm in the same situation, I need to send my module to get it repaired. How many screws do I have to remove from the ABS module? the above says 4 E5 torx bolts, is that all? I see 2 visible with out unhooking a thing.
thanks[/QUOTE
That sounds right. The other two I removed pretty much by feel. Like I said it wasn't easy but i did do in about 30 min. It went back in about as fast.

So I got my module back from ModuleMasters and I installed it, toped off the brake fluid - turned on the car and the xmas lights were off. I did notice that my brakes are gone now because I need to bleed them.
Tomorrow I will begin to bleed the brakes so I can drive this thing again.
Any tips on brake bleeding?, Do i just follow the bentley instructions:
1 - Left front brake caliper
2 - Right front brake caliper
3 - Left rear brake caliper
4 - Right rear brake caliper
Did you have to run anything via vag-com?
Thanks for all the help & happy new year.

It has a couple of screw in front...check this..http://www.modulemaster.com/en/Audi/A6_info.php is not the same model but its the same way to remove it. BTW your module I think is version Bosh 8.0 it's not listed in the website but they repair my. A+ service

I've attempted removing the module again (for the 3rd time). This time I got stuck at separating the pump from the bracket so I can have room to remove the abs module from the pump.
There is a pin at the bottom of the pump module attached to the bracket through a rubber piece. I'm unsure how to separate the two. Its a pin not a screw!!
anyone has done this and can explain how to separate the two?
thanks
