Why on earth would I want to give a dishonest and negligent garage another chance! Beside this is really OT. If I've been charged for made up parts I'm legally entitled to a refund on said parts and ***ociated labour cost irrespective of the outcome of the work. The question is whether anyone is...

No, the issue was finding a garage to do it in the first place, this garage would not have been first choice if I had initially found any better reasonably priced ones on offer. My understanding at the time was Honda used to charge about 2k for the repair and that due inflation prices have...

DTC troubleshooting code 66 in the Honda ESM shows the only step is to replace the VSA modulator it doesn't reference any other sensors or systems at all. Of course the garage will doubtless try to claim it had every other code under the sun to confuse things. Personally speaking I recorded code...

After some research it does look like the warranty label may be legit, its just in a awful state. Its looks like the scam tactic was to hide the non existent part with the repair they were supposed to do in the first place. This is apparently something that some unscrupulous garages do because...

No it's not an issue at the moment. It seems they have used a made up part and then done the actual repair on top of that to cover it up, just they also did the repair badly. Maybe I can still dispute it without a statement from someone but having a statement from a Honda expert would obviously...

Also now given how casually the garage has fed me a pack of lies and done bad work I'm wondering if that modulator is even the correct one for my car. The original had a clear code on it but can't see anything on this one and I'm guessing these need to be set up for the weight, wheel base and...

The VSA diagram from the ESM for the CN2 does appear to show the brake pressure sensor as being part of the modulator and no external sensor is referenced. Seems like why would they need 2 anyway, recipe for confusion via conflicting readings and messy fault diagnosis increased manufacturing...

think CM2 might be 2.4L Petrol Tourer you can check under design specification anyway

brilliant seems to work in ff straight away, never got the original working even under wine

thank you sir, much appreciated.

Also I think this bit of irony is typical of the UK's wonderful ethics. I had a car that was IMHO totally safe to drive that failed the MOT and following the rules I've ended up with a car that is probably not safe to drive that passed the MOT!

So I had the dreaded VSA light come up on my Accord, the MOT station said I needed a new modulator but couldn't do the repair and I also confirmed code 66 using the blink code, reset obviously didn't work. I think the MOT station already tried that for me anyway. I was in 2 minds about whether...

Is there any reason my posts keeps being deleted, did i break a rule or is there some anti spam thing doing it?

The text on the antique looking VSA modulator I could make out so far is' warranty void if opened' and the German equivalent below, not sure about the top line.

Hoping maybe to get lucky with someone with professional stationary that could help prove I've suffered a fraudulent and substandard repair for the VSA modulator on my Honda Accord 07 Diesel. So far I've gathered Afaik a separate brake pressure sensor does not exist on this model (its in the...
