Brake Fault - ABS failure. I used VwVortex as source for ordering a re-built AB electronic module. Will install tonight. Update results on the next survey After installing ABS, I took it to be programmed to my local indie shop. They claim they programmed it successfully yet the fault lights and indicators all remain as before. The indie shop reports an error 65535 with J217 code 
141800 mi ABS repaired successfully after replacement ordered. My beef is that BBA-REMAN sent me a defective part which i paid $115 to an indie shop to program. So i'm out the $115 with no help or acknowledgement of their failure by BBA-REMAN pissed
