abs control unit

[Bad Geordie]

Hi all,
Used this site for the past five years for tips and tricks for my mk1 Leon fr 150 on a 55 plate, but this is my first posted question. Has anyone got any advice for me. I changed my rear disc's and pads and a brake pipe a few weeks ago. But after bleeding brakes they just didn't work. Nothing when I pressed the brake pedal. After taking it to Halfords auto centre the next day for a brake fluid flush and a brake light switch on the recommendation of the AA. The brakes started to stick on and I was told I needed brake master cylinder. This didn't resolve the problem so they put the old part back on and refunded me. Nothing else for it so off to Seat. They checked it over and come to the conclusion Abs control unit £800. I'm thinking the scrap yard instead. But I have read other posts on here about abs control units and always mention warning lights. I have had no warning lights come while driving it from garages to home. Anybody got any ideas before I spend more penny's I don't have? Sorry for the long post. Cheers

Was it bled via the pedal or a pressure bleed kit?

Hi. It was bled by pedal. Seat said it should have been pressure.

Yeah MC can be damaged unless pressure bled. Where are you geographically?

So Halfords auto centre could be to blame. I'm in Crewe Cheshire.

I've just been told by a lad from Bentley that a clutch fuel flush will sort it. Puzzled face how would this help?

No idea... it was in case you were close to a known vag indy garage as id suggest going along to someone who knows the system
