^This. 3 years ago I had to scrap a low milage 2009 VV GTI because the ABS computer was shot. Of course that module also communicates with all the other electronics on the car and is not readily accessible.
Go online to the forums and read about the nightmare of trying to do this yourself without VW diagnostics to get the new module to work with all the existing components. Even my local shop, who uses a VV tech on the side would not warranty a $3,000 fix. The dealership wanted over $4,500 to fix it. In the end I traded it in where I bought it (I worked there many moons ago and the owner leaned on a wholesaler to buy the car at a very reasonable price).
Just to clarify my point; this was a GTI- a loved car with all kinds of known fixes, fixers and available parts.
