Hello! I'm still learning my way around this forum. I've got an '04 Cooper S with an ABS pump problem. I posted my question here:

...but maybe this subforum would have been a better place. Anyway, has anyone installed a pump from a junkyard as I describe in the other post and did it work?

Thanks for your input!

 

Probably bad form to reply to my own thread, but here's an update for anyone who searches and finds this in the future:

The pump I got came from a car WITH DSC, despite what I was told. The giveaway was that it wanted the steering angle sensor calibrated, and ASC-only cars don't have steering angle sensors. The technician tried various things and finally decided to try lobotomizing the control unit (i.e. clearing everything and restoring it to the new-out-of-the-box state) and then programming it from scratch for an ASC car. So far, so good. No dash warning lights. It remains to be seen if the dash light stay out!

 

If you end up needing it I have several used ABS pumps that we took from the 8 wrecked MINI's we are parting out. It will be interesting to see if your light stays off

 

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. Have you sold a used ABS pump before, and if so, was the customer able to use it? This is unknown territory for me....

Cheers!
