Vehicle faults can be dangerous, which is why regular servicing is essential even if your vehicle seems to be driving perfectly. If you experience any particular problems when out on the road, it’s even more crucial to take action to avoid unnecessary accidents and to prevent further damage. If your Vauxhall Corsa D is pulling to the right when braking, it could mean a Corsa D ABS pump replacement is necessary. So let’s find out more.
What is a Vauxhall Corsa (D) ABS Pump Fault?
A Corsa D ABS pump is a very common failure for all Corsa vehicles built between 2006 and 2014. The common fault is a complete lack of braking effort to the front left brake caliper. This results in the vehicle pulling to the right-hand side during braking. This can be dangerous during emergency brake situations as the car will swerve quite heavily to the right. If you’ve tried to diagnose the problem, you would have seen that no brake fluid is reaching the left side front brake caliper, making it impossible to bleed the left front brake. This problem is caused by an internal fault within the Vauxhall Corsa ABS pump, so no amount of flushing or bleeding will solve the issue.
What to do if the Pump is Faulty?
An ABS pump for Corsa models is not cheap. It’ll also need to be programmed to the vehicle, further adding to the cost. A new ABS pump only comes with a one-year warranty too, meaning it won’t be covered if a failure occurs after that. There are much more cost-effective solutions available, however. For example, you could request an ABS rebuild from Essex Recon.
If you go down this route, experienced technicians will refit your fixed ABS pump, bleed the brakes and retain all original programming to reduce costs. Sending your unit for a full test and rebuild is simple and fast, helping you to get back on the road as quickly as possible. Downtime isn’t often an option in the busy world we live in, which is why turnaround times are as swift as possible. Essex Recon engineers are fully trained to work on Corsa components and will take a close look at the pump to rectify any faults. All rebuild quotations are transparent and payments can be made instantly. When payment is complete, your unit is fully rebuilt and sent back to you.
Knowing your model is not the only one with this kind of fault can be reassuring. It’s a design element that experienced Corsa technicians are aware of, so don’t hesitate to reach out for help if you notice that your car is pulling to the right when braking. Please don’t ignore this problem, as it could potentially lead to a dangerous situation.
