Ello big fella

I believe Hamish has the means to flash these things. Worth giving him a call.

In the time I have been repairing ABS ECUs over the last 7 years - I have not heard of the requirement to code the ABS ECU to your car, not for the C70 Coupe for your model year at least. The repair either works or it doesn't (resoldering the pins). Usually the fault will clear itself or you can clear via ODB2.

Have tried clearing using my snapon kit and comes back on after a few minutes
Changed rings, sensors the lot
Seriously loosing it with car now

What codes is it sending. If it is more than 1 corner then it is more likely a fault with the ECU & I would look to swap again just to be sure.

No communication with sensor if I remember rightly
You may end up having to send me your details Dave and I'll send my ecus to you please

Abs issue sorted
Left front sensor fecked even though was new in sept just gone so Volvo own part in place and all good for now

sadly it is the nature of the beast that it will be the last thing you try will be the fix. Good that you have it fixed finally.

True that Dave
Only reason I didn't check said item was that they where changed recent
But that's what u get buying cheap copy parts
And thanks as I'm glad to have her back too
