This is my first contact with the forum. I am having a problem with the ABS on my much-loved 2001 multi (1600, petrol). I have had the ABS fault warning come on once or twice in the last 4 months, but it goes off again. However I am more concerned that on one or two occasions when I have applied the brakes, they have felt odd, sort of hard or juddery (this has not happened on the same days that I have had a warning). I am told that the ABS control unit needs replacing and that the strange feel to the brakes is due to the anti lock system coming on. I am in shock about the price of a new control unit! Does anybody think that there may be another solution/cause. Can the unit be repaired? Would a 'used' unit be worth considering? Would appreciate your thoughts.
