Quick check, look in all the autosport connectors that there isn't one pin is pushed back. Quite common on new looms that pins haven't been seated properly and are pushed back as they're first connected. Have fun!
If u need a good sparky in France I have good one, if any further problems.

Sorry, you have found the limits of my English! What is a sparky ? Electrician, I guess ? ;-)
Yep, a sparky is an electrician. I'm a boltie, u can take a guess on that one.

Trying to troubleshoot my Wheel speed sensor wiring problem, I have tried to hook up the MSA II to see if the ABS sees its sensor and... nothing !
I only get a "ECU is offline". The cable and PC are Ok (tried with the Modas on the ECU connector).
One question : Does your MIL light then stop when putting ignition ? (engine off) Mine doesn't :-\
I hope that it is not the damn Bosch pump/ECU thing !

You definetely have something going on with your electrics! 
Do you mean the DIAG-light? It has to stays on until you start the engine. Then it switches off (if everything's fine).
Sure you didn't plug the cable into the ABS-system?

Some news about my ABS fuss :
Still impossible to connect with my laptop with the MSA II Box (which works fine with the Modas/ECU). The DIAG lamp never glows as it should, putting on the power and ignition, or turning the **** to 12. (I havent tried to start the engine but should not be mandatory to test, I guess). Have checked the fuses, the power in the connector (ABS pump side), and all seems ok. I have checked the bulb of the MIL/DIAG in itself and it is ok.
I am going to try to start the engine to see if the light comes on, but after that, no way I am testing all the wiring before probing the ABS unit (too cold to do that in my garage).
Does anyone know how to have it tested in France or Europe ? (even sending to Bosch, but impossible to reach the French office of Bosch Motorsport)

If it doesn't glow with the ignition-switch on it also won't go on if the engine's running.
I guess that it doesen't get electricity...
Check the wiring and send it back if you don't find sth.

Weird...
My dad installed ours in the 2011 so I donīt know what else could be wrong... But Iīll ask him if he has another idea!
Have the guys @ Manthey any ideas/ advices?

My fear is that there is a problem with the ABS unit (which should still be under warranty - less than 1 year old), but I have no way to test it. Do you know for how long these things are under warranty ? (found nothing in Bosch documentation and website)

I have no idea how long theyīre covered under the warranty! But I think KMP is also a Distributor of the Bosch ABS. Maybe they have sth. to say about your problem...
But honestly: You paid them to install an ABS-system in your car and it doesenīt do itīs job! So itīs their thing to just get it right... If I sell a service to someone and it does not work, itīs me who is responsible to find a solution to make it work and not my customer!
