My 2003 LC is at the local shop now .... bit my nails driving it 5 blocks w/ no brakes. Now they want an answer to their quote.
-Total brake failure at 131k . ( equipped with traction control vsc , stock no mods. never off road)
- I read alot here and opted for Complete unit with MC
ordered rebuilt from ENET parts off ebay
- part arrived and I expected the install at local shop to be straight forward. They had a guy there that has fair amount of land cruiser experience.
Shop called and quote was alot higher than I expected.
I expected : swap out ABS module , plus cost to replace brake fluid ... pump the pedal 40 times etc , and bleed brakes.
New to me .... was shop owner says the swap may/will require a reprogramming ? "Its a whole procedure"
Two questions:
A. If anyone has had the abs module (whole unit ) installed , what did you pay ?
{ $ amount out the door } ? ( Based on XX shop hours if its on your bill / you know ) ? { done at dealer or at local shop ) ?
B. Reprogramming required ? reprogram what , exactly .... the abs controller?
The thought of towing it around for a competing quote is a bit unappealing. Although depending on cost i may tow to dealer .
I'm also at risk that the rebuilt unit from ENET doesn't work ....... happened to my neighbor ( on 2003 his LX, ) and in that case any shop is going to make you pay for the second install . )
