Problem with ABS Module Master

Sup guys.
2 weeks ago, I got my Vag-com and scanned my system.
and I got a error code of 18014 (P1606) so that's relating to a ABS ECU not working.
Also I been having the stupid beeps and ABS and brake lights.

So I sent my ABS module to Module Master (http://www.modulemaster.com/audiabsrepair.html) 2 weeks ago using UPS 2nd day. And I recieved it back from them indicating it's fixed 2 days ago (friday)
I was so excited. I put everything back, the 2 connectors to the ABS ECU. screw all 6 bolts back tight.
Start up the car yesterday night, BEEP BEEP BEEP with ABS light on and brake light blinking still... DAMN!
I stop the car, unplug the battery Negative over night and hope it will reset the code and today, I put the battery back and start it up again, hoping for the best... and DAMN AGAIN. 3 beeps with ABS light on and brake light blinking....

SO PLEASE guys, tell me, what's wrong?
I use the VAGCOM again, but pull no code. maybe not yet? maybe has to wait 50 or 100miles or some driving before it triggers an error code?

Someone, help me guys.. that beeping and blinking is annoying as well. and I just wasted $360 shipped and it didn't solve the problem at all.

Any help or input will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry cant help, but Id just add that I'm only buying and selling the new module repair part from

Audi. At $495 list for the new part, the price differential is just not big enough to screw with the rebuilt.

Re: Why don't you give Gavin at ModuleMaster a call? - See what he has to say

I will give Gavin a call today.
but since yesterday is Sunday, I wanna give it a shot and ask you guys.
About the new unit, it will have the same problem after awhile, since it's like a defect. it's only a matter of time. So I decided to go this route.

Thanks guys. I will call Gavin and see what he has to say about it.

New updates : Problem with ABS Module Master

I just talked to Gavin from Modulemaster.com
and it seems like I don't EVEN have communitions with my ABS ECU.
I am using my Vag-com cable, and use it to read the faulty code.
I can read the Engine module, and Transmission module. but when I click on ABS brake module, it will retry to connect for 4 times then say cannot find module.

And I confirmed with Gavin that it's fixed and tested 100% working.
And he said, even if it doesn't work, it should cause the light to go out for a second or so before it comes back on and not working again. but mine is 24/7 on whenever I have my engine started. so he assumes maybe there is NO CONNECTIONS between my ECU and the ABS module.
also I personally have this feeling also, since the VAG-COM cannot reads it.

Does anyone had this problem before?
Can someone give me an idea on WHY this is happening?
Any input will be greatly apprecaited!
