ABS Module Leak - What to Replace? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Yuri on  Thu Dec 15 07:54 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I have a brake fluid leak, and it seems to originate fron the lower part of the ABS unit (below the part where all hoses are screwed in). I read on BB that the unit needs to be replaced, but I have some questions:

- Do I need to replace EVERYTHING or only the bottom part? I have not seen these disassembled, so I do not know how it comes apart.
- Is this s DIY job? I replaced timing belts, water pumps, etc on my own. If yes, I would be very grateful if I get some instructions.

Thank you,
Yuri

    If you need the pump and not the electronic module, I have a spare one that came with the electronic module.

    What year is your 850?
    93-95 models had a problem with leaky seals, lots of $$$$$$$$$ to replace. Clean it very well to make sure is the ABS hydraulic unit the one leaking and not one of the lines.
    96-97 models are not known for leaking, I have a few of these units.

      This a 1995 model. The wet part is on the bottom, where the hoses are screwed in. I will try to tighten them. So the 96-up units are different from 95? I may end up buying one fron junk yard, so this would be important to know.

    May be the ABS pump, try a Brickboard search. If is IS the ABS pump, you're not gonna like what the replacement cost of a new one from Volvo is.

    I think I read of it being (somewhat) cheaper from the Volvo recyclers like Erievovo.com

    There are also several of the pumps on e-bay now.


    Sorry.
