Update - ABS ECU TROUBLES
« Reply #16 on: 08 September 2007, 19:29:51 »
Had a Stroke of luck today and i am now a very happy man.

Visited the scrappy today and changed the control unit which sits on the pump for £10.

The scrappy had 3 units and I took one from an M reg with the same bosch number and XC code.

The board i put in was spotless looked like it had 2 new relays in it and there was no signs of water on the board.

10mins to swap the replacement into my car and now I have abs, no signs of ecu light flashing up and staying on and the abs light goes out and stays out after starting up.

Next job is to get the MOT done, tried today but I was told that on a saturday they only do MOT's till 1pm due to the national system shut down at 1pm  :-/ whether to believe that or not.

Well pleased :)

Cheers mate  :y

I was quite lucky as the guy at the scrappy said if it didn't work to take it back and he'd let me swap it usually they dont allow this so luck was on my side the 1st one did the trick.

I am going to change mine seeing as how easy you all make it sound!

When you take the old unit off will the car still be driveable in the event of an emergency until I get the new one? Is there anything exposed to the elements?

My chassis number starts with a W ( W0LOV .....) so presumably mine will be the  4 channel job.
