ATE MK100 repair: When blocking valves paralyse the vehicle

The ATE MK100 is one of the most widely used ABS and ESP systems of recent vehicle generations. Despite its reliability, a single defect can make the difference between safe braking and locked wheels. If a wheel no longer releases after braking or the vehicle brakes unevenly, the cause often lies deep inside the hydraulic block. Our specialised ATE MK100 repair offers the right solution. It is fast, precise and significantly cheaper than a new part.

The ATE MK100 ESP is the modern successor to the MK60/61 ABS

The ATE MK100 ESP is the logical further development of the proven MK60 and MK61 systems. It was developed to combine more functions in a more compact design and to meet the increasing requirements of modern vehicle systems. Thanks to the close integration of electronics and hydraulics, the system works faster, more precisely and more reliably, both for ABS interventions and for stability functions such as ESP or traction control.

Technically compact and powerful

The ATE MK100 was developed by Continental Teves as the successor to the well-known MK60 and MK61 series. Thanks to its modular design, it combines electronics and hydraulic components in a compact housing. This saves weight and space and improves the response times of the valve control. At the same time, the system processes significantly more sensor signals, for example from steering angle sensors or brake pressure sensors. This is an important prerequisite for modern driver assistance systems.

Used in the following vehicles, among others

The ATE MK100 is used in numerous vehicle brands, including VW, Audi, Ford, BMW, Opel, Peugeot, Citroën, Dacia and many more. Its widespread use makes the ATE MK100 repair an important service for garages and vehicle owners.

The cause is blocking valves in the hydraulic block

If one or more wheels no longer turn freely after braking, the problem usually lies in the valves of the hydraulic block. These small solenoid valves control the brake pressure for each wheel. If they are dirty or clogged, they can no longer release the pressure correctly and the wheel locks. In such cases, it does not help to replace sensors or brake lines. It is necessary to repair the ABS hydraulic block.

What causes the error

Fine bores in the hydraulic block are particularly susceptible to contamination. Over time, tiny particles of dirt or deposits from the brake fluid can become lodged in the valve channels. This causes the valves to jam and remain partially closed, resulting in locked wheels, uneven braking behaviour or permanently applied brake pressure. The problem is that the system does not always recognise this fault. The ABS indicator light often remains off and it is only when braking that it becomes apparent that a wheel is still locked. This is precisely where our ATE MK100 repair comes in.

Our solution is targeted ATE MK100 repair instead of expensive replacement

Using special inspection and testing equipment, we can precisely localise the fault and professionally overhaul the affected valves. The hydraulic block is cleaned, the valves repaired and then tested electronically and hydraulically. In this way, we ensure that the entire control process functions again as if it were a new part.

The procedure for repairing the ABS hydraulic block

Every repair begins with a thorough incoming inspection. The device sent in is electrically tested to confirm the exact fault pattern. The hydraulic block is then cleaned and repaired. After a successful test on our test bench, the original device is returned. This means that no teach-in or coding is required. As a rule, the device is checked and repaired on the day it arrives and normally leaves our workshop again on the next working day.

Advantages of repair compared to buying new

• Up to 70 per cent cheaper than a new ABS control unit
• Sustainable, as existing components are reused
• Fast processing, usually within a few working days
• No reprogramming - install, connect, done!

With a professional ATE MK100 repair you can maintain your existing system, save costs and restore full braking performance.
