ESP and ABS lights are both on - advice needed
 

Hello everyone

I have a 2007 Audi Q7 3.0 with 75K miles (US spec car). My ABS and ESP lights are on and VAG-COM is pretty clear on what's going on:

1 Fault Found:

01276 - ABS Hydraulic Pump (V64)
014 -- Defective
Freeze Frame:
Fault Status: 01101110
Fault Priority: 2
Fault Frequency: 1
Reset counter: 163
Mileage: 120102 km
Time Indication: 0
Date: 2013.12.16
Time: 14:03:02

Freeze Frame:
Count: 1792
Count: 8195
Count: 104
Count: 51456

However, if I reset the code above and the lights go off, for the 30 seconds or so before they come on, the ESP button works to turn traction on and off and the ABS kicks in if breaking on slippery ground. As I said, a few seconds after starting the car and rolling it (whether breaking or not) both lights come back on. Am I SOL and have to get a new pump or could this be caused by a faulty capacitor, pressure sensor etc?

Also, I have searched around the forums and there seems to be an ABS fuse, apparently located on top of the battery under the driver's seat. I unscrewed and reclined the seat, found the battery underneath but there is no fuse bank on top of it. Am I missing something? None of the other fuse banks I found have an ABS one either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys!

Anyone? It seems like a lot of people looked at this but there are no suggestions. I assume a new pump it is...

good luck on here:(, i asked the same question a couple months ago, and never received any help, as many others , it seems that the people that used to help around here are long gone, to bad for us.....

That's unfortunate... I posted this on another forum as well, still no feedback. Have you been able to fix yours? The baffling thing is that I can't find the ABS fuse.

went to the dealer, they hooked up the computer, and they want to change both mafs , epc and a whole bunch of other electronics which come out to almost $6k, i've had the esp light go out after one hard launch on a gravel road, and it sayed that way for a month or so, the car was running normally, then i hit a bad patch of road with some bad potholes and the light came on again, this would indicate sensor or computer connectors, i'll let you know what i can find at the dealer.

You will need a new pump.

The reason is there are too many spamming individuals that pollute the forums with nonsense advertising will/awe , blau parts , ect , ect along with other spammers.

Any idea where the fuse should be?

Resurrecting this thread. I do need a new pump (dealer confirmed). Any idea where this is located?
