So it looks as if my brake pressure sensor(s) on the master cylinder are playing up.
The ESP light came on last week and after scanning it with VCDS the code P01435 Brake Pressure sensor 1 (G201) Intermittent electrical fault was found.
Having checked the measuring blocks for the G201 switch the pressures were bouncing around with the brake pedal depressed so I'm fairly certain the switch is faulty, it seems to be in the early stages of failure though as turning off the ignition and re-starting clears the ESP light.
This brings me to my question , the plan is to DIY replace both switches with Genuine items and to carry out a full brake bleed, so how much of a pig is this job?
I know all the reservoirs for coolant , PAS and other stuff in that area need to be drained or at least moved out of the way , but have just read an old thread on here about removing the engine mount and jacking up the engine just to get access?
Having done all that on a recent cam belt change I don't really want to go through all that again .
I'd appreciate any pointers from someone who has done this themselves .
Thanks!
