IM SUCH AN IDIOT

I just got the ECU out i removed the screw that held the black casing with the metal lever to the connector!

Thats an hour of my life wasted, especially as i misread twoqu's post which mentioned put the screw back in. Thanks for all your help feel a little stupid now

**stevieyid** · 4 May 2009, 20:34

Its harder to refit the ECU when all the extra horses have been squeezed in don't you know...

**stevieyid** · 4 May 2009, 20:39

Didnt think about that. Im sure i can fit another 80-100 horse in though

aaarrggghhhh.....my ecu is halfway out....but the white plastic trim piece that holds the bottom tray in place is stopping it from coming all the way out...
anyone got a way of removing this piece??....

With a hacksaw? Or a dremel tool...

Mine gets a bit stuck at half-way, had to peel back the carpet a bit and put some brute force into it. The trim pieces seem to flex without breaking but that's not a guarantee...

any particular orientation??....1/2 a turn or just "give it some"....

That white trim piece is a right PITA... Twist and tug and off it goes.

she's out!!!.....I did knock off a small piece of cloth pipe (cannot for the life remember what the stuff is called but it's like old beetle fuel line!!..)
that was connected to a very small bore piece of plastic hose...any idea what this does??...

Connect that back - its a vac control hose that goes to recirc valve on your aircon evaporator... You know if you knock this off as you get a constant 'psshhhhhhh' noise in the cabin while under vacuum.

I have managed to find the plastic hose and re-connected it....is it worth getting a small jubilee to secure it or is a push fit ok?..

**S2central.net** · 11 May 2009, 11:35

Push is fine... You aren't the 1st to have done that - LOL...

Use a small cable tie on vacuum hoses. Just to be sure.
