That's the bad news. The slightly better news is they located a used unit for about $600 coming off a car with 35k miles on it. The unit also comes with a one year warranty.

Total new cost at indie shop with used part including labor looks just shy of $1000.

The absolute best price I found on a brand new unit was $1970. That is just the part alone, no labor included.

So, I am going to take a chance with the used module/pump. Hell, I could replace it every year for 3 years and still be be under the cost of one brand new unit. I figure the chances of multiple units failing must be somewhat low as I don't see too many in this forum having the problem.

Car goes in next week. Meanwhile...no DSC! whhhooooo-hoooooo! (cut to shot of me in ditch...and...scene...fade to black)


Seems to remind me of a thread I saw at one point where someone asked how to turn off both ABS and DSC.

I like your thinking re: the proposed solution. Cost effective and, like you said, chances of the same unit failing are slim. Gotta love those indie shops and cost-effective and creative options!
