    TCL solenoid valve

    Hi guys,

    I am trying to solve the problem with my TCL and ABS lights but I got stuck.

    There isn't much knowledge about these cars in Holland so I have to depend on you.

    The MUT II software is showing code 78, we can delete the code but it comes back after hitting 50 km/h.

    Is it the cheapest option to replace the solenoids and the tank?

    Where to get the serial numbers? Or does anyone has some spare parts?

    Check the resistance of the solenoid. From memory it should be around 40 ohms? Also check the plug on the loom. The vacuum tank is easy to check, but also check all the other small bore pipes in the area.

    This is the part I'm looking for..We checked the resistance and it was 0 Ohm the other one measured 42 Ohm..

    Let me know!

    I bought a used one from 666damned but it still measures 0 Ohm..I measured it with a cold and a warm engine..Is it worth risking another 80 quit by buying a new one?

    It's been a long time since I worked on those solenoids but I think both should have similar resistance.
