What I have discovered with D3's and the same issues is that the ABS block and the ECU affixed to it should either be changed for another complete unit which comes as a pair, or the replacement half needs to be exactly the same code as the part you are taking off. It became apparant that you could not mix the blocks and ECUs with any other halfs that you have available. I know this from bitter experience and as soon as we followed this rule, never had another issue. I know it means bleeding the brakes fully if you change the block but dont be tempeted to take the control ecu off the top and just swap it for any other one unless you know that they are a direct match on part numbers and software numbers!
