ABS module help

[elementdeep]

Hey Fellas,

I am looking for someone locally to solder my damn ABS module, any one here in the LA / OC that does this? I'll pay the going rate for the work

Thanks in Advance
Jason


PS: How hard / Easy is it to remove the module?

i hear its easy to remove

dont know of any local shops that repair it

but you can still drive the car if you take it off so if you have the money to repair it just fedex it to module masters

this happened to my B5 there was a company selling replacements for around $150 to $200. It was an easy swap. Just removing the fenderliner and moving the washer fluid reservoir out of the way to get to the bolts - took about 45 mins.

Maybe find a place that will give you money for your 'core' (send you new one, you replace, send your old one back for credit)

I would be happy to help you fix it.. just PM me.

Here's the thread I used to fix mine: http://www.passatworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155771

and I replaced electronics only (that's what is failing) and the process from that thread:

Step 5: Replacing the unit What you will need to replace the unit, will depend on your plans. There are two ways to fix this unit: Most of the time, just the electronics go bad on these ABS units. Hence, you can just change out the electronics portion of the unit.
1. Remove the front left tire. Proceed to take off the fender well liner. This will gain you access to the screws that hold in the windshield washer reservoir. Pull out the reservoir and you should have access to all 6 screws on the side of the ABS unit. You are almost done! Take out the 6 screws and the bottom connector. The unit is completely sealed so you will not let air into the system when doing this. Remove the electronics and put the salvaged ones on. Reverse the order and you are done, no bleeding necessary!
