Title: Broken ABS ECU Wanted
Post by: albitz on 24 March 2011, 22:19:00

If anyone has replaced their ABS ECU because it had the usual symptoms - no speedo/ABS.TC - I am on the lookout for one, as there is a possibility I might be able to get them repaired cheaper than the usual routes.
Need a problematic one to fiddle with to find out if its reasonably possible.
Willing to pay postage costs and possibly a little more if need be.
Tia.

this will be interesting, make sure you post back with your results, this has had me baffled for ages why they brake.

Dont know what that is Mark, but I will ask. That might stop the idea in its tracks though. Will find out on weds. :y
It is all way over my head, but there are people at work who know a fair bit about such  things.
If I get any technical questions on the subject I might drop you a PM if thats OK ? :y

Sure, no problem.

Soldering does not work sadly due to the presence of a conformal gel coating and the type of metal used within the housing.

You need something like this

I remember trying one at a semiconductor exhibition. Looked very easy, basically line up and press the trigger. However if the kit will cost £10K you will need to fix a lot of ECU's to pay it off.
