Hi !

According to the blink-codes of the ABS-System/Controlling-unit it has
several(8 !) failures. All of them say that there is a failure in the
controller system (short-cuts, broken links, etc.).

Is it possible to exchange the controller-unit only (B18U, model 1994,
ABS by ATE), or do I have to exchange the whole unit???

Any hints to re-check against the blink-codes?


Best Regards, Torsten
 
In a word, YES it is possible to change the controller. I think it might be in a
similar location to that on the 480 which is in the left hand cubby hole (with
detachable lid) just ahead of the rear lights.

Cheers, Peter.

Mmh. My car has it un der the hood, mounted at the right side of the
ABS-hydraulic-block. Or am I wrong?
This is one reason for my question, if it is exchangeable (for a
non-mechanic)?

If it has a connector that can be unplugged then it can be changed. Make sure to
match the type numbers though.

Cheers, Peter.
