I need an ABS unit for my 98 318is.
The car is due for NCT this Friday and the unit itself seems to be the fault.
I'm located in Dublin, blanchardstown area.
Failing this, I'll try get someone to re-wire the ABS light if there are any takers???
Thanks once again,
Chris
I have an abs ecu if that's the part you need? What number is on yours?
Not entirely sure. I can check and reply back to you tomorrow if that's cool? Thanks for getting back to me.
Add far as I know it's the entire unit I need, relay and pump. Maybe someone on here can confirm this for me.
If not, is anyone familiar with rewiring the light? Would like to be going to the test with at least a chance of it passing.
Relay is built into the pump so just the unit itself is needed on FL cars
Mine was preface lift so seperate ecu, is that right?Quote:

Bump. Or anyone that can re wire the ABS light to something else behind the clocks????
Preferably the ABS unit itself.
Bump on this. Need the unit soon if anyone knows of a working one, where to get/buy one etc.
Thanks again,
Chris
Fella on adverts fixes them. On phone so no link I'm afraid.Quote:

Now thinking about ebay, as I think I've scoured everywhere I can think of. Any thought on something like this, is it reliable etc.????

Also need to get some new front brake hoses (NCT failure) so thinking about braided ones while I'm at it. Any thoughts/suggestions on this and where to get them is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
You could get one from uk for about €50-60 euro if you use parcel motel. That's what yad pay here anyway imo. Pm Super4 here for the break lines.
Thanks. Do you know of any places in the UK to get one.
Otherwise this Ebay one is looking like it's worth a shot!
What about the refurb on adverts ?
I was just looking at eBay and I thought the prices seemed good from private sellers. The pics are great can see what your getting. The fix is just removing the ribbon cable that fails and causes the problem and hardwiring it. I don't think it does be very successful if the abs relay is on the pump itself. There is a video on YouTube of some guy doing the fix can't remember what it's called.
Heres a place in the UK

Thanks guys, gonna contact ECS and if they're too pricey try that ebay one.
I was just afraid that repair on adverts wouldn't address the issues and I also need to get the brake lines done at the same time.
Any and all links and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the help once again lads.
Well lads,
On more question about this.Will a unit from a Z3 work?
There's one on ebay and it has all the same part numbers marked on it.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
afaik they be the same units alright as they used the same engines.
I read that alright.That's great, thanks a lot for getting back to me.
Off I go so.
