WELCOME BACK EDD. ACTronics' setup is absolutely mindblowing.

Love the magnetic gloves that "pick up" the bolts

The place that remanufactures your controller, wow that is one top notch work station

We need more companies like this, so many cars and parts get scrapped nowadays due to part unavailability.

Great to see Edd back again! - Lovin' the magnetic fingers Edd! Also its easy to see why cars like this get scrapped off so easily - if you don't know how (or where to send the part) to fix it - as a new replacement part is more than the value of the car.

Can't help feeling like £1500 is pure price gouging - no way was that module worth such a significant fraction of the total new car cost, outrageous money. Great that there are firms out there that can actually fix things rather than just binning things off for no good reason. Bravo to Actronics.

@robertbackhaus8911

Two ways to get spares for vehicles that have been around for a long time - one is that at the end of the car's production, have the OEM make many more than required, buy them, and store them in a well controlled warehouse for years - and then discard the ones that don't end up sold after storing them for a decade or two. The other is to get someone to spin up a production line for a small run. Neither of these options are cheap - I can see them needing to get - after retail markups - £1500 for the ones they sell to make the whole thing work. Fixing ones as they fail is a very good idea - but you need a decent thoughput to pay for the setup, and you also need the fault to not be an Application-Specific IC, or even just a more generic part that goes end-of-life, that is unavailable.

@imnotamechanic3491

7 ай бұрын

Such a part is probably not that often needed, and by the time it's needed the car isn't worth much, so the owner will likely opt to get one off a scrapyard (looks like on ebay you can get one for around £100 or less), so even at a reasonable price of a few hundred quid, most people will opt for a used part on something not likely to fail. So then you have very small market, and as outlined above, to supply these years later costs lots. It's a shame companies like this don't offer a service to the individual though, plenty of competent mechanics who don't want to be 'stitched up on the labour rate'.

You would be surprised at what a new ABS module costs. For my Pug, it was £350 brand new. The same ABS module but fitted in an Audi was £1400. Software will be slightly different which prevents you from fitting one to the other... but shows what markup these parts are sold at!!

Glad to see you back. Was able to fix the abs module on my 1999 BMW E37. Best money saving fix I've done. -5 hours searching and reading, until i found useful info on the internet. -5 min removing the module (easier access than on the Fiesta). -20 min carefully cutting it open. (Same cut as they did on the Fiesta module, but did with an exacto knife). -5 min to renew the cracked soldering (common problem apparently). -5 min to glue the lid back on with ABS-plastic glue. -5 min to put it back in the car again.
