430 Found a fix for F430 ABS module (finally)

As many F430 owners are aware, Ferrari no longer makes or even stocks a F430 ABS module, so when one goes bad, we are SOL on this issue. I finally found a fix and this is wonderful news.

Long story short - my F430 had an ABS failure and two local AD for Ferrari were no help as it is no longer made or available from a dealer, my local independent Ferrari repair shop tried to fix it and failed. Even Wayne Carini at F40 could not offer a fix. However, my last attempt struck gold with a repair that finally worked.

I need to give the credit to Travis Hanna, the General Manager at Hagerty Garage + Social in Delray Beach, FL as he hooked me up with his go to Ferrari repairman Jonathan Braga who was able to remove the ABS module and get it rebuilt (took about three weeks) and reinstalled it so it works perfectly. I actually did the repair last month, but did not want to post until I had a change to run the car over a few days to verify there are no issues. the cost was well under $10k, but at this point, there are no other better options.

So, if you want help with this frustrating issue, give Travis a call 561-243-9990 or send me a private message.

For the record, I have no financial relationship with Travis or Hagerty, but i store my car at this awesome location and the service is beyond fantastic.

 

Glad to hear and nice to know
Thanks for sharing

 

I am still shocked and sadden that Ferrari authorized dealers could not offer a fix for this relatively common issue. At least with my classic Corvettes, getting parts and service is relatively easy.

 

Was the issue with the electronic module (within the black plastic casing) or the aluminium valve body?

 

The only thing I was told was it was the module that somehow was burned out or damaged. Honestly, I did not inquire too much as I was so happy to get it finally fixed.

 

My car is going through this issue now. I sent my abs module to Upfix. Got it back, reinstalled and the codes came back within 5 minutes of driving:
C1266
B100c

I called Travis and he quoted $11k to repair the abs module. I asked to talk to Jonathan Braga, but found him on Instagram so I called Jonathan's shop directly. He doesn't do the repair either technically, it gets sent off to someone else "offsite" that does it. Feels like a bunch of shops passing around mark ups now...

This is a super frustrating issue because the car won't come out of wet road mode with these abs codes. I can't believe Ferrari stopped producing parts on something that essentially permanently disables the car.

 

I am I the only one thinking $11k is ridiculous!!
Are repairs a lot more expensive across the pond, as we send loads of pumps off to ECU repairs and a few other companies here in the UK and they are normally under £250 to refurbish.
I just cannot get my head around the cost for you guys!!

 

upfix charged me $400 all in, but not working at the moment.

I've heard others have been successful with them though.

 

I've been helping people get their abs modules fixed for way too little apparently.
