hi
this was the last scan, i know you will all jump on the last line, but we cleared all faults ran it around and re checked the last line had gone but the others are constantly there, like i said last time it was checked by sparky he said wiring was good and all pointing to abs pump as mentioned, i can throw more money at by putting rear abs sensors on it but everything so far seems nonesense, no matter what you put on same faults, that sensor hasnt shown again, had the same with front left, put new sensor in, it said fault was still there, cleared fault twice and problem has never come back on diagnostic equipment, if the faults are ghosts you could be chasing them for ever, is BECM to blame just throwing up random rubbish, at this rate mot will be due and will fail on some random rubbish, car stops fine but oooooooo theres a light on so got to fail it, how did we cope with none abs vehicles, ive had many vehicles and aint crashed one of them, will start start to look if you can frig the abs light and take the TC off as i think early ones didnt have it or need it
cheers

Early models had no TC or 2W TC. If you change the ECU you have to change the accumulator too. Unfortunately the pins on the loom for the later 4W TC is slightly different. You might be able to tell from RAVE what the differences are and move the wires around to work with the no TC ECU but I would be very careful in my testing afterwards.

Why would you have to change the accumulator? The master cylinder ABS block is different.

Hi all
To add to my troubles headliner above passenger sun visor is wet through all the way to the rear view mirror, the sunroof has been gaffer taped up for last 3month so water not getting in there, do they leak around the windscreen or does water track from elsewhere, odd it's just over passenger side cheers Glyn

The 4 wheel sensors go direct to the wabco unit with no joins in the loom other than where they actually plug in near the wheel

That we saw 20yr ago....
No plans on returning either.. I'd rather be here with next to nothing in my pocket than return to the uk to having everything to hand... And the growing issues. My brother keeps offering me a nicely payed job with a company car to boot but it's too much of a sacrifice
