| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Abs module/sensor failure. this problem occurs frequently with other audi owners and has been thoroughly documented on sites such as mycarstats.com. basically the abs and brake lights would come on while driving, accompanied by a beep. after initial research, i was able to confirm the module had failed and would require replacement. local audi dealer quoted 1500 for the module plus labor. luckily, i found an alternative by sending the faulty module to modulemaster.com. this company specializes in repairing defektive circuitry. the labor is warrantied for the life of the vehicle and costs 300.00 (including shipping and misc. stuff). the car was still driveable while the module was out. their website contained a video on how to properly access the module, remove it, and replace it once it was repaired. all in all, i saved myself '1200 plus labor'. i would like express my disgust with all audi dealers who sell their modules for these outrageous prices. one thing none of them admitt to is that the reason why these bosch modules fail is because of a known defekt in the circuitry. so their $1200 modules will eventually fail too. *nm |
