Or even a basic multimeter to measure the resistance across the terminals.

Right in for pre Mot today,ABS light on, the mechanic put a code reader on the car and reported right rear valve?
I have tried new ABS sensors on both sides at the back of the car tonight with no joy,any ideas?

Post Thu Mar 19, 2015 9:12 pm

Don't suppoae you've got the code have you?

When you say valve, sounds like it could be module related.

Post Thu Mar 19, 2015 9:19 pm

The chap did say code 96, well it rings a bell anyway Max.

Post Thu Mar 19, 2015 9:22 pm

If it is the module Chris, look up BBA reman over in kent. They did my 530 one. Good price and quick turn around.

Will do Trev,cheers mate.

Post Thu Mar 19, 2015 9:36 pm

Could really do with finding out more detail about the code and what it said.

Another problem, I have reset my service lights and the car will not start,managed to get it going yesterday by using the key to unlock/lock the turd now back to square one.

Is it fook, car is turning over but it's almost like it's getting no fuel ,or could this be the immobiliser ?

How straightforward is EWS delete on these turds?

Post Tue Apr 07, 2015 8:33 pm

Its as straightforward as the ECU in a jiffy bag with my address on it

Post Tue Apr 07, 2015 8:35 pm

If its an EWS problem the starter wouldnt be turning, does it also have an aftermarket alarm immobiliser?

Post Tue Apr 07, 2015 8:41 pm

Dan the car turns over just once each time I go to start it

Post Tue Apr 07, 2015 8:42 pm

Ring me if you want Chris

Post Wed May 06, 2015 5:23 pm

what was it in the end?

Post Wed May 06, 2015 10:37 pm

EWS fault mate, cleared using carman scanner borrowed off a mate through E46 M3 mode and not E36. I have fixed all other faults the scanner picked up by replacing the parts.
MOT tomorrow

Had to put the turd into Etech Motorsport in the end due to the non start problem,all problems now sorted and Twelve months MOT.

At least they are appreciating nicely Chris, it makes paying out on them easier to stomach!

Did they say what the problem was? I still have my S54, I have a difficult dilemma of when to sell it. I am tempted to sell and put a few more quid in the coffers and try a 996 turbo or early v8 vantage. I'd look a proper bell end in either mind. I'd also be pretty gutted if the z3m ever made it to z8 level pricing and I had sold it now for 25-30k.

Post Mon Jun 01, 2015 9:02 pm

It was just a loose connection Jon, Justin found it in the end,something to due with the big C101 plug as they are known on E30s.
I wouldn't sell just yet mate,I would hold on for another couple of years yet, I would not like to pay out for Aston parts fook that mate

I am getting shot of this turd, incoming yank forces sale, pm if interested

Post Sat Mar 11, 2017 8:59 am

It seems the new owner is also getting shot.

Was he the prize chump he appears to be in this thread?

To be honest he sounds like someone who owns a Polish car wash...oh right, he is!

What did he pay you?

Doh, it's been quarantined!
