Abs ecu

Unread post by Andypandy »

Hi all, thanks for adding me,
I have a 2015 c5 1.6hdi, I’ve been getting intermittent warning lights up, when I scanned car with diagbox I get communication error with the abs traction control, if I shut it all down let the car go to sleep it will randomly see the ecu, but not every time, I’ve had car to a Citroen specialist, he said needs a new abs ecu £2k+, so my question is, can a used one be set up on the car. Thanks

Before doing anything drastic like that just consider whether the battery might be at fault. How old is? Is the engine sluggish at all turning over when you start it?
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.

The battery was the first thing that I changed. I have cleaned the connection on the pump, but still the same issue
