[ABS Control Unit failure]

Hi my Accord had done about 40K, my local dealer (Harrogate) made the initial contact. Their first offer was half price on the part so would have been around £700. I personally spoke to them saying I didn't expect something like this to happen on a four year old Honda. They wouldn't budge then changed their mind an hour later. Not long after I got it fixed I put an order in for a new Octavia, I've had it for 5 months now so far so good. I think it handles as well as the Accord, much easier to park, I only miss convenience functions like the electric tailgate, and of course the torque from the 2.2 diesel.

BTW sorry Skoda peeps for the thread diversion.

Thank you very much for replying and my apologies also to the rest of the forum for non-Skoda enquiry (you were only person I could find online

with recent identical problem). Much appreciated.

I feel your pain, a few months ago the VSA modulator failed on my four year old Honda Accord, I was quoted �1650 to fit a replacement. Looking on forums this is not an unheard of problem in Honda models. I was lucky that Honda UK as a goodwill gesture supplied the part free of charge - so I just paid the labour, that plus the diagnosis still cost �280.

I have just had the same nightmare today with my four year old Honda......quoted 1750 and 60 to diagnose the problem!! Honda have offered to reduce the cost of the part to just under 500 but not replace it free of charge like yours was.....how did you manage it???? Will to call them again tomorrow and try and push for this. Do you remember what mileage your Honda had at the time the modulator failed? Mine only has 34K!
