How much would it cost to replace the ABS Pump, ABS ECU and the Thottle Body in a 2001 Vauxhall Vextra?

For a while I've had the little orange car sight with a spanner through it, light up intermitently on the dash. Then the abs light would also come on (sometimes). Took it into a Vauxhall dealership and they plugged it into a computer and came up with the problems. They want to charge me 拢2,000 for parts and labour! is there any way it isn't what they say it is ? Could it be a sensor or two or am I clucthing at straws? Please help as 2k is making me very worried. thanks.|||more than the car is worth, speak to other vectra drivers. vectras have more electrical problems than enough, abs light coming on WILL be a sensor not the pump or the light would be on permanently. the trouble with dealers is 拢拢拢拢拢拢拢, most of the people who use diagnostic equipment don't understand it, like"if the machine says that then that's what it is" what a load of crap, any diagnostic computer can only point you in the right direction of a circuit malfunction. the throttle body cannot turn on your mil light, only an electrical component on it such as the throttle potentiometer|||i would ask some friends and nabours for the best local non dealer garage, there are still some good mechanics about.but make sure you ask a few people were they have found to be reliable and honest. when you find one , stick with him or her . as for your problems with the vectra, i agree with some of the other answers, there's more to it than a computer can tell you . a dealer should know you start with the cheapest part first. hope that helps|||get a second opinion- its not very likely that its all those things.|||Buy one wheel sensor and try each one seperately cant see it being abs pump it hardly ever gets used abs ecu are pretty bulletproof too.Does abs run through sequence when you turn on ignition if it lights then goes out but only comes on when vehicle is moving then is 90 percent certain is wheel sensor. If it does go through sequence it cannot be abs module as light would be on constant same for abs pump.Dont let these s.o.bs fleece you nothing to complicated about abs just take your time and think it through.|||Yes if the computer was read and says what the problem is then that is what it is , If you can not get all fix at one time then get some of it repaired, hope this helps.
