A1 CARDONE 12-12205 ABS control module for the 2001-2005 Volkswagen Passat runs the anti-lock braking system, which helps reduce skidding in abrupt braking. This is a remanufactured A1 CARDONE ABS module, and remanufacturing cuts the energy and raw material needed to make a new part by 80%.
- Reverse engineering shows why the original unit failed, so engineers can correct design flaws
- Worn, missing or non-functioning components are replaced with new or rebuilt ones where necessary
- Critical components are re-soldered where necessary to secure electrical connections and remove intermittent failures
- 100% computer testing for consistent performance
- High-pressure hydraulic testing for zero leakage, and air-decay testing to confirm the unit is void of brake fluid
- On-car testing where necessary to validate reliability
