Volvo ABS Repair

An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a braking technology designed to help cars brake quicker and prevent locking up and skidding. It does this by applying the brake force in a pulsating motion, applying small amounts of force at a time. By doing this, the system applies the maximum braking force possible before the wheels lock up, releasing and repeating until the brake pedal is no longer engaged. ABS units are composed of wheel speed sensors, hydraulic valves, ABS pumps, and ABS control units. The sensors at each wheel send information back to the ABS control units, which modulate braking to prevent locking up.

Simply repairing faulty units restores them to their original, factory condition. There is no guarantee that within a certain amount of time, the same faults will not re-emerge as the weaknesses of the unit were not addressed during repair.

For many car owners trying to deal with their Volvo ABS issue, taking their car to their local Volvo ABS repair service provider will typically mean a more costly experience. The ordering and fitting of a brand new component will cost far more than a remanufactured component.

Repairing simply takes faulty components, and replaces them with factory-condition originals. Any weaknesses inherent in the component are not addressed, and the car owner may run into the same issue in the future.

We are equipped to deal with Volvo ABS pump repair and remanufacturing, as well as for the sensors, modules, reluctor rings and much more.

Yes. Remanufacturing does not demand the same quantity of raw materials as manufacturing, since the entire casing and unit will still be reused, minus a few faulty components. Energy can also be saved since the remanufacturing process is not as energy-intensive as manufacturing is. By opting for a remanufacturing solution for your volvo ABS repair, you are preventing more waste from reaching landfills. Repaired parts may also have a very limited shelf life, and would ultimately need to be discarded and replaced with a brand new part. In every way imaginable, remanufacturing is more environmentally friendly than buying a new part.

ABS units are composed of multiple components, but sensors can be found within all four wheel hubs, and the ABS control unit is typically found in the bonnet, near to the engine. Please refer to your manufacturer's guide if you are unsure of its location.
