ABS unit failure

[lewis]

hello all,

i had some problems with my brakes (losing rear brake servo, abs not working)..
in BMW service first said it was the battery, the alternator, my xenon lights, and other crap..
finally they decided that its the abs unit.

my bike has 12.000km and they ask for the unit 2.200 euros.

well, can anyone advice me where can i find a used unit in a reasonable price ?

i'm desperate...


rgds,

George

Hmm. Was the bike still under warranty when you FIRST took it in for service? With so few miles, they should be willing to work with you about the cost. . . just an idea.

@Lionlady: yes, it was.. but they dont care.

i found an ABS unit on Ebay, with part number 34517660909
since local BMW service have no problem to install a part i will get (of course no warranty for the part), i asked them if this is ok.
they told me that the right part number for my bike is 34517685790.

anyone have any experience with these part numbers ?
i found this part in a reasonable price (800 USD) instead of 2200 eur...

If the bike was in waranty, press on them to make it good after all he wrong diagnosis. If nee be call the BMW area representative......need to push harder for you rights......best of luck.

BMW ABS is the reason i now ride a Suzuki Bandit... without ABS, conveniently the units are unrepairable.

As you are quoting prices in Euros I am assuming you are East of the Atlantic Ocean.

If so get in touch with Motorworks 0r Sherlocks for a used abs unit http://www.motorworks.co.uk/
