    I now have ABS!!!

    After becoming suspicious that I had never seen the ABS light (on start-up or at any other time), I removed the dashboard to find the bulb missing.

    As I suspected, when replaced, the light remained constantly lit.
    Needless to say - no ABS either!

    I posting a thread asking for suggestions and very soon Dave 850R was in touch offering to repair the unit for a small fee. This was great news (bearing in mind that the main stealers want big ££££'s to exchange the ECU unit). He immediately pm'd me detailed instructions that were easy to follow.

    I removed the ECU and posted it to him - within days he had repaired and returned the ECU - result is I have saved £££'s and also have ABS - WOW!!

    So, BIG THANKS to Dave a great help and a true Gent!
    I would absolubtely recommend his repair service to anyone who has ECU problems - I am 'well chuffed' that I have my ABS back!!!



    .....Thanks Dave!!!


    ...except now I have another problem - the missus reckons I should take her out for a meal with the money I have saved!
    Wish I had a Volvo!

    BTW I am not saddled with the responsibility of treating the missus to the money saved!! (unlike that arse in the direct line insurance vid). I could of saved him some money by not buying a new shape VW bug in the first place!! LOL

    Dave - a quick one, why do I see some with 6 solenoids, 7, 8, 10 ?
    I know the 6 is for the 850/850T5
    7 is for those with 850TRACS but what about the rest ?
