Title: abs module
Post by: tidla on 29 January 2013, 21:18:04: The day before i set out for a trip similar to tunnies, the abs, tc lights lit up briefly at slow speed, then went out.

No codes were stored.

One thousand six hundred miles later the lights are getting more regular along with no speedo reading. The old girl saved all the trouble till i got back and even started faultlessly at -15c (heated seats mmm)

The chances are its the module. Seen a picture posted which possibly showed corrosion damage.

Has anyone managed to fix/solder/ repair one or is it best to just send it off for recon?

(Even managed 30mpg overall trip fully loaded)

Simple soldering is impossible for several reasons .. one of them being the gunge the board is encased in.

I had mine refurbed by BBA Reman and was extremely pleased and happy with the result. £130 including a 2 year warranty - but that was 5 years ago now so check the price !!

While Albs and I don't see eye to eye on a lot of things, what you can't fault him on is helpfulness, where he can. Why you feel the need to take the pee for that is beyond me, tbh. Uncalled for, its a common problem we could benefit from solving.

Agree totally with Albs sentiments and the friendly piss take was between him & I as I knew he wouldn't take offence. Chill out Pixie ;)

If you have bondout kit then you would not need to remove the gunge (acetone is the likely solvent) as the needle bonding probes could be easily pushed through the clear goo to support the ultrasonic welding.

Its this same fault that affects the control modules on the Bosch VP injector pumps to.
