Went to move the car the other day and had my foot on the brake as usual put in drive and car moved forward. I had to push really hard on the pedal to stop the car, then bong and warning message for brakes and ABS came on. How do I check the Accumulator and or pump to determine what the problem is? When I bought the car was told reconditioned and re gasses accumulator was installed and was given the old one.

Hi Phillip, I hope I can help. Can u here the pump keep coming on, if it does then it's the accumulator, if no noise then pump might be stuffed. Secondily, I had a new accumulator put in with o-ring no problems. Speaking to the guy who did mine he said a lot of the reggassed ones leaked. Let me know

Maybe what he really was saying is a lot of the new accumulators leak, this is possible due to them sitting on the shelf for a long time.

I think it also depends on who refurbishes your Accumulator - Peter T, is the best.
