Fellow Volvo owners,
I need to recommend a service that we all will need at some point as owners of a Volvo. My ABS/TRACS warning light came on indicating that the ABS Control Unit needed to be serviced, the dealer wanted $60.00 to diagnose it and $400 to $500.00 to repair/replace it. Victor Rocha has a service web site at http://home.earthlink.net/~vicrocha/Volvo_Parts/Volvo_V70_ABS.htm, with the detailed directions including pictures. I was able to remove the unit myself (about 45 minutes), send it to Victor Rocha for diagnosis and repair and reinstalled the unit (a little less time) for less than $150.00. He even mailed me the special socket (torx T5 socket) to remove the unit! Check out his web site as he details the upgrades he performs on the ABS Unit making this the last time I will ever have to do this again. I recommend his service for those of us who are not afraid to go in.
Good luck to you all,
Sprinks
