The Volkswagen Polo / Vento ABS pump is an essential part of the carβs Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). Its main function is to regulate hydraulic brake pressure during emergency or hard braking to prevent wheel lock-up and maintain steering control.
Description:
- Component: ABS Hydraulic Unit (ABS Pump + Control Module)
- Location: Mounted in the engine bay, usually near the brake master cylinder.
- Structure:
- Electric motor pump generates and regulates hydraulic pressure.
- Valve block (hydraulic modulator) contains solenoid valves to control brake fluid flow to each wheel.
- Electronic control module (ECU) processes wheel speed sensor signals and controls the solenoid valves and pump.
-
- Operation:
- Wheel speed sensors detect if any wheel is about to lock.
- The ABS ECU activates the pump and solenoid valves.
- Brake fluid pressure is modulated (increase, hold, release) to keep wheels rotating under braking.
-
- Extra Functions (depending on variant): May also support EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), ESC (Electronic Stability Control), and TCS (Traction Control System).
Common Part Numbers (varies by year/model):
- 6R0 614 517
- 6C0 614 517
- 6R0 907 379 (ECU module)
Would you like me to make the description short and parts-focused (like for a parts catalogue), or more technical and functional (like a workshop manual)?
