hydraulic control module (abs)

[zft325]

Hi any of you know the part number of the hydraulic control module with abs pump for my 2001 boxster s? thanks

[Loren]

With or without Automatic Limited Slip Differential (M224)?

[zft325]

sorry how can i tell? i can send you the vin number. ive been looking in ebay and im confused about the traction control and the (option M224) or locking diff (option M222. need expert help from you

[Loren]

Usually the options M222 and M224 are always together. Check the options sticker under your front hood.

You do realize that replacing the ABS controller requires the Durametric software. a Porsche PST2, or PIWIS tester to properly need the ABS circuit?

you mean properly bleed the unit? is it possible to just change the electronic part or i need to change the entire abs pump with module? i can see screws beside the pump but i dont know if i can just inter change them. your input is much appreciated

It is all one unit.

I suggest you take the car to a good Porsche shop.

i would if i could loren but the problem here in the Philippines is that its very limited. we have a dealer here but they dont accept cars that are not bought out of there showroom. the shop i went to has the PIWIS is there a thread here that has instructions on how to properly bleed the system using PIWIS or only accredited porsche shops has that? i dont want to burn all that money because its very expensive here for some service. I understand what you are suggesting but im just hoping that with the experience of experts like you i can work hand in hand with the mechs of the shop that has the PIWIS. (if ever they dont know the proper procedure). again thanks for your advice loren.

1. Bleed brakes as normal first.

2. Open the right rear brake bleeder valve.

3. Use the PST2 or PIWIS tester to turn on the ABS bleed pump.

4. Wait for bubbles to stop coming out of the right rear bleeder valve.

5. Close the valve.

6. Turn off the ABS bleed pump with the PST2 or PIWIS tester.

7. Check the brake fluid level and top off if needed.

You did bleed the brakes and ABS module right?

[zft325]

hi loren. nope did not bleed because i did not take out the abs pump. only the electronic part. so no problem.

[Loren]

Oh - okay just wanted to make sure.
