[A4] ABS Module....

[Derek Pulvino]

Ahh, not so bad then, and I know I do need to get in there to replace the washer pump.  The black surround on the pump is cracked.  The duct tape fix I put on during my t-belt replacement was only good for about six months.

And just to clarify, the effect of a T.U. module results in no abs, but leaves braking otherwise remaining unaffected?  I thought I also read somewhere that the module also serves as the front to rear brake bias/proportioning controller as well.
