Leon cupra 01435 brake pressure code sender......HELP!?

[jamjam818]

i recently bought a seat leon cupra 5dr 2.0 FSI in october 2010 and the warrenty was up in january 2011!

i know very little about cars to be totally honest and my friend at his familys car mechanics garage plugged my car to the computer which read 01435 brake pressure sender.. i briefly read another forum discussing a similar problem but i could not fully understand it.

if someone can break this down to me it would be very helpful

sorry about the little or lack of information..as i said i don't know that much about cars other than the basics and would find any feedback really helpful and great

thanks Jamie

Its a very common problem with teves MK60 abs units.
there is a repair kit avaliable thats about £160.
if your car has a full franchise service history you will get a good chunk of it paid for by SEAT,Get your car booked it at a dealer,get them to diagnose it for you and they can then approach SEAT on your behalf.
the whole repair which is to repace to ABS Hydraulic unit(the sensor that is causing your problem is a part of it) will cost around £350 less any contribution you get
cheers
