Abs/Electronic Stabilization Program, BOSCH 8.1, Component Overview

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 18 other vehicles, including the 2016 Audi S4, 2016 Audi A4 Quattro, 2016 Audi A4, 2015 Audi S4, and 2015 Audi A4 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Bosch ESP 8.1 has the following functions:

The brake system is distributed diagonally. The vacuum brake servo unit boosts the brakes pneumatically.

NOTE:

ABS malfunctions do not affect the brake system and the booster. Conventional brake system stays operative even without ABS. A change in braking behavior should be checked. When the ABS warning lamp comes on the rear wheels can lock-up early when braking!

Malfunction sources are reduced by direct connection of components named. The components are replaced instead of repaired.
