1998 Volvo S70 - Consensus on ABS module fix?

Dualhammers · Post by **Dualhammers** » 24 Jan 2016, 18:03

ABS and TRACS OFF lights are going on and off on my car. Sometimes they will switch off after the car restarts but then the break will vibrate and they will come back on after a few minutes of driving. General search seemed to indicate the module is failing.

The question I have is should I take the module out and send it in for a rebuild, should I buy an OEM, or should I get a rebuilt one from BBA Reman? If I do send it in who has had the highest success?

http://www.midwest-abs.com worked best for me and many on this site... cant say enough good things!. Others may use XeMODeX but I have only used them for their ETM and they were great too; and since they are a sponsor here you can be sure they too do good work and you help Matthew too.

https://www.midwest-abs.com/ is a MVS forum member who will even do advance exchange if the car needs to be on road every day.

I ordered an advance exhange fromhttps://www.midwest-abs.com/. It arrived a few days later. Even emailed Matt when it "didn't" work and he replied immediately, telling me to remove it and seat it properly. 2000 miles later and no problems whatsoever. Will always request ABS modules from Matt from here on out!

Now, if only he sold Saab 9-3 rebuilt turbos...

BBA-reman is the way to go, about $75.
Warranty for life as long as you own the car.
They fixed mine a few years ago, so far so good.

I can vouch for Matt at Midwest as I got a rebuilt unit from him and never had a second thought about it. Guy is on his 5-600 rebuilt units so he knows them with closed eyes. Do it once and never look back!

Midwest-abs! Quality, cost, communication and responsiveness, in-the-trenches knowledge regarding the product and warranty are all fantastic.

Overall service from Midwest is unmatched. Hands down the winner.
