2005 VW Passat B5 2.8L ABS Module Repair

With a resurgence of a constant ABS light, it was time for a re-built model, or shipping out for another repair since Bosch refuses to make older ABS modules. My first try was for the re-built model from Cardone, however, you will see from this video how manufacturer databases can be incorrect. In this case everyone didn't even have the correct model as a choice. Learn from my mistake and verify before you buy or decide to send out for repair. This video walks you through some tricks and special situations I encountered with this Bosch 5.7 ABS module.
Below is a link to Module Repair Pro in Los Angeles who was one of the only repair companies that recognized VW's and Audi's have these installed. They found the issue and correctly repaired my unit with full testing and follow up phone calls. Excellent service and advice!!

Hey that’s my car

What lights did you have on before the job was done?

[@sliceoflife1821]

I lost all communication with the ABS module, so I don't remember a specific code with loss of comms. Many months before this, I do remember a code trip on the brake fluid pressure sensor. That is actually the circuit Module Repair Pro had to re-soldier. Hope this helps!

Hey! My 1999 b5 four wheel drive has problem , abs light is on i checked all cords and computer didint even show any faults , so do i need to replace the module like you did?

[@sliceoflife1821]

Sounds like you have the same symptoms as I experienced. I would replace it or have it repaired. If you have another ride for a couple weeks, you can send it out to Module Repair Pro linked above in the comments.
