ABS fault on Audi TT

I have an Audi TT 2007 2.0-litre. It has ABS fault. Garage says new pump unit might be needed. Horrendous cost. What are the options please? New or repairable? Where to go and what ball park costs to expect?

The fault is most likely to be a failed brake pressure sensor in the ABS/ESP module. Get the car out of the Audi dealer and to a VAG specialist who will remove the module, send it to www.ecutesting.com for repair and replace the module for around £600 all-in.
