How will I know if it needs re setting on the car?

The ABS won't work.

The ABS won't work.

And the light comes on. Needs the elise >2006 yellow lead to reset it I believe. Op-com wont have it.

ok, just back from having it fitted. it came off an elise. abs works, did a few emergency stops before paying, hard on throttle straight onto breaks..... no dead pedal, but time will tell as it was an intermittent problem. all looking good at the moment they have 3 more units there for .............. wait for it ............. £125 the place is uklotuscentre, Halesowen B62 8HY, Telephone: 0121 561 5454 he wasnt interestd in doing a group buy deal on new units as he very rarely buys anything new, but he did say a lot of lotus dealers are shutting down so they could well be out there somewhere........ i'll post on here if the problem arises again within the near future, but hopefully this has done the trick..

So, did you just swap the brain in the end?

[dumfunk]

yes, very easy. i take it your pic was of the lotus abs unit not the vx one? as the lotus one had the same part number,exept the bar code was different.

His photo was off the Vx one .... Errr I think you have fitted the standard one again..

[dumfunk]

so it would seem........... they checking now to see if the others they have are the same too............... on three every one... 1 2 3 WHAT A BELL END!!

[MrSimba]

do a search on SELOC for 'uk lotus center' or 'rocky'... I'll leave it at that.

[dumfunk]

been on seloc and asked about abs. according to them ,so far, all elises with abs were 4 channel....

[ItsLikeAnElise]

Dumfunk, does the code on yours and the others for sale say S108196012? Just to summarise, am I correct in saying that for £125 and 10 minutes of my time I can fit 4-channel ABS to my VX220 and won't need to visit a Lotus dealership?

they strike again

ps: I could have sold you a vx220 abs ecu for £25

That's a 2 channel unit number, look at the code on the one you've taken off!

[robin]

No, 6009 ! ooops!

[rob999]

Uklotuscentre....hmmm. That is all.

they are the ones that sent me a crashbox with half a chassis on it

[dumfunk]

ok, a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.... just got off the phone from the guy and he said to come up in tomorrow mornin and will sort it out, so hopefully if he's not got a correct part number unit there then will get a refund......... hopefully. he may redeem himself yet!!

yes, thanks for that, mate....

[smiley]

I'm having a go at my local opel forum to see if they know a vectra that has a 4 channel. Is there any visual confirmation from the ecu between a 2 channel and a 4 channel, besides the sticker with the type numbers on them?
