Mines an aging but much appreciated 1997 V70 T5 CD auto plenty fast enough for me and just turned 100K.
But - Volvo have just quoted me £455 to give me back ABS and TRACS - the cost of a replacement unit.
There is a guy in California who makes a living from rebuilding your broken one - to a higher spec - mail order for $150
Has anyone tried him out - or is there somewhere in the UK?
Do you need a Volvo only hi-tech gismo to recallibrate or what have you after fitting a replacement.
Is there anyone who has tackled VOLVO about this bit ? - seems once they hit six years they give up in droves

Any info appreciated.

PM the member Dave850R on here, he repairs them on a no fix no fee basis.

He has done mine successfully ;)

Robin,

The unit comes off quite easily and you can still run the car without it. 100% success rate, Turn around (back in your hands) in 2 days, approx.
