How to Find an ATE ABS Pump by Part Number

For ABS pumps, searching by the numbers printed directly on the original unit is one of the safest ways to identify the correct replacement. Vehicle model, production year or engine size alone are often not sufficient because several different ABS systems may have been fitted to the same vehicle range.

A complete ABS assembly may carry several different references at the same time:

• vehicle manufacturer OE number,
• ATE hydraulic-unit number,
• electronic ABS control module number,
• additional hardware, configuration or system references.

Common ATE numbering families include 10.0204..., 10.0206..., 10.0212..., 10.0220..., 10.0915..., 10.0960... and 10.0970....

The same reference may appear in two different formats. For example, 10.0206-0224.4 may also be written as 10020602244. It is therefore useful to search both formats while always comparing the complete reference.

A good example is the ATE ABS pump Audi / Volkswagen 1K0614517AB / 1K0907379AB / 10020602244 / 10096003613. This assembly carries both VAG OE references and separate ATE numbers identifying the hydraulic and electronic sections.

ATE MK60 – Hydraulic Unit and Electronic ABS Controller

One of the most recognisable ATE ABS system families is MK60. A complete HECU combines the hydraulic control unit with the electronic ABS controller. Depending on the version, the assembly can contain a valve block, pump motor, sensors and electronics responsible for ABS and vehicle-stability functions.

MK60-family systems are found in selected Audi, Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, BMW, Ford, Mazda, Volvo and other vehicles. The MK60 designation alone does not mean that all units are interchangeable.

Within the VAG group, for example, you may find the ABS pump 6Q0614117C / 6Q0907379E for Volkswagen, Audi, Seat and Skoda, while selected Audi TT applications use units such as 8N0614517D / 8N0907379G / 10020600314 / 10096003243.

The complete ATE number and the vehicle OE reference should always be used to confirm the correct replacement.

ATE or Bosch – How to Identify the ABS System

The same vehicle generation can use ABS systems supplied by different manufacturers, including ATE and Bosch. This may depend on production year, equipment level, drivetrain and braking-system configuration.

An ATE ABS pump should not automatically be replaced with a Bosch unit simply because both were fitted to the same vehicle model or look similar. They belong to different system families and the original part numbers remain the primary identification method.

If the removed unit carries a Bosch number beginning, for example, with 0 265..., see also our Bosch automotive electronics. If the unit carries ATE references such as 10.0206..., 10.0212... or 10.0960..., compare the complete ATE numbers together with the OE reference.

ATE ABS Pumps for Volkswagen, Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz

ATE ABS systems are widely found across the Volkswagen Group. Our range includes both Volkswagen ABS pumps and Audi ABS pumps, where identification is based on the combination of OE and ATE references.

ATE systems are also common in BMW vehicles. One example is the BMW ATE ABS pump 34516776066-01 / 34526776067-01 / 10096108513. Depending on the system, the complete unit may carry separate numbers for the hydraulic section and the electronic ABS / DSC controller.

Mercedes-Benz vehicles also use ATE systems. An example from our range is the ATE ABS pump A2044313712 / A2045455132 / 10.0926-1592.3 / 10092615923. As with other manufacturers, all references should be checked rather than relying on a single number.

ATE ABS Systems in Peugeot, Citroën, Ford, Mazda, Opel and Suzuki

ATE ABS units are also used in French vehicles. One example is the Citroën / Peugeot ABS pump 9806891780 / 10.0220-0377.4 / 10022003774 / 10.0915-1178.3. More units can be found in our Peugeot ABS pump and Citroën ABS pump categories.

Ford applications include units such as the Ford 2S61-2C405-AF / ATE 10.0960-0110.3 ABS pump, while a Mazda example is the ATE ABS pump KL2K437A0A / 06.2109-8438.3 / 06210984383.

ATE systems can also be found in selected Opel and Suzuki vehicles. One example is the Opel / Suzuki ABS pump 85L0BE2WD / 85L0-BE / 06.2109-5784.3 / 06210957843.

Common ATE ABS Pump Failures and Fault Symptoms

An ABS pump is an electro-hydraulic assembly operating under demanding conditions. With age, both the electronic and hydraulic sections can develop faults.

Problems encountered during diagnosis may include:

• ABS pump motor failure or pump-motor control faults,
• brake pressure sensor failure,
• faults or sticking solenoid valves,
• internal ABS / ESP control module failure,
• no diagnostic communication with the ABS unit,
• intermittent faults appearing after the electronics become warm,
• CAN communication faults,
• power-supply or ground problems,
• corrosion of electrical connectors or housing,
• moisture or water damage to the electronics,
• contamination of the hydraulic section or incorrect pressure control.

Typical symptoms can include illuminated ABS, ESP or traction-control warning lights, loss of ABS operation during braking, ESP being disabled, braking-system fault messages or inability to communicate with the ABS controller using diagnostic equipment.

An ABS warning light does not automatically mean that the pump is defective. Similar symptoms can be caused by wheel-speed sensors, ABS reluctor rings, damaged wiring, fuses, poor ground connections or CAN communication problems.

Example ABS Fault Codes

Fault-code numbering depends on the vehicle manufacturer, ABS system generation and diagnostic equipment used. There is no single universal list of “ATE fault codes”. The following are examples of faults that may appear during ABS diagnosis:

A fault code alone should not be used as the only reason to replace an ABS pump. Power supply, wiring, sensors, communication and the complete diagnostic description should also be checked before ordering a replacement unit.

Why Choose an Original Used ATE ABS Pump?

For many older vehicles, a new original ABS pump can be very expensive. The price of a new unit may represent a significant percentage of the vehicle's value, while certain references may only be available to special order with long waiting times.

For older vehicles, some specific ABS pump versions may also be discontinued and no longer available through the vehicle manufacturer's official supply network.

In these situations, an original used ABS pump with matching part numbers can be a practical and considerably more affordable alternative. Instead of fitting an unknown aftermarket replacement, the vehicle receives an original unit manufactured for the same type of braking system.

The important point is that the used unit should be correctly identified by part number and checked before sale.

How Do We Test Used ABS Pumps Before Sale?

Used ABS pumps and control modules supplied by Auto24Parts are checked before dispatch. The exact test procedure depends on the design of the particular unit, but the inspection can include:

• verification of all part numbers and module identification,
• inspection of the housing, connector and visible mechanical condition,
• checking for corrosion and signs of water damage,
• diagnostic communication test with the ABS controller,
• reading the electronic module identification,
• checking electronic control functions,
• depending on the unit, testing the pump motor and available actuators,
• functional bench testing and, for selected units, testing in a test vehicle.

This allows the customer to receive a checked original replacement unit rather than an unverified ABS pump removed from a vehicle and sold without testing.

Warranty on Used ATE ABS Pumps

Checked used ABS pumps and ABS control modules sold by Auto24Parts are supplied with a 6-month warranty. Full details are available on our returns, warranty and complaints page.

Before ordering, compare all references with the original unit. If you are unsure which pump is correct, you can send us a photo of the original labels and part numbers through our contact page.

Does a Used ATE ABS Pump Require Coding?

This depends on the vehicle and ABS system generation. In some older vehicles, a replacement pump with matching numbers may mainly require correct installation, proper brake-system bleeding and clearing stored fault codes.

Other vehicles may additionally require:

• transfer of coding from the original ABS controller,
• coding the replacement module to the vehicle specification,
• steering-angle sensor adaptation,
• calibration of acceleration or pressure sensors,
• ABS pump bleeding procedures using diagnostic equipment.

For this reason, both the part-number compatibility and the installation requirements of the specific ABS unit should be checked before purchase.

How to Choose the Correct ATE ABS Pump

1. Read the complete vehicle OE number from the original unit.
2. Check the ATE hydraulic-unit number.
3. Check the electronic ABS control module number.
4. Compare all suffix letters and additional digits.
5. Check the electrical connector.
6. Compare the brake-pipe connection layout.
7. Do not select the pump only by vehicle model or appearance.
8. Check whether coding or adaptation is required after installation.

Two ABS units that look almost identical can contain different hydraulics, electronics or software. With ABS systems, complete part numbers are more important than the external appearance of the unit.
