Title: Over the moon - ABS/Speedo back!
Post by: Varche on 26 October 2007, 18:03:51

Well I have had a most trying couple of days changing my ABS ECU. Just come back from testing it out. So many things work again.

Speedo
Cruise control
Mileometer
MID display - average this and that functions
ABS

I will say that whoever said it was a job they wouldn't wish on anyone was not lying.

I followed Issunaz suggestions and removed the minimum of stuff- battery, top hose and moved the 3 multiplugs at the end of the battery by undoing the philips screw holding the plate to battery tray. I gently held the power steering pipe back an inch using a plastic tie. Then it was just a pfaff undoing the six screws. Special thanks to Issunaz who supplied an extended T20 Torx bit and lots of late night advice - top man. I also used a Torx "allen key" . You need lots of patience.

Had a small disaster when the pink plastic sliding plug affair snapped when I tried to gently lever it out. Thank goodness for some flat thin nose pliers I have.

Also a big thanks to forum members for advice. I just wouldn't be tackling these jobs without this forum. Bit of a saving from the "over a £1,000" quote I had back in the UK.

Next job knock sensor /lack of power.

an over joyed olive :y ;D :) :)

Well done  :y

I don't want to add the kiss of death but, that ECU is now in its third vehicle and done over 220,000 miles to the best of my knowledge.
