  • hi paul. you got a pm.
    Have tried today getting the ecu out, but it cannot get past the white plastic clips and a mounting bracket for the fan ventilation i think it is

    • I didn't get a fresh PM from you... Strange. This problem is normal if the ECU has never been out before. Some patience and a strong back is required.

      That white bracket twists off.

      You generally need to remove the aircon drain pipe as well for improved access.

      Lever off the 55-pin ECU connector carefully to give you clearance.

      Then lever up the big spring clip and pull the ECU downwards from its location - there is another clip up at the top which is gripping the ECU, but with strength, dexterity and care you can pull it down.

      The thing I also fight with is where a corner of the ECU snags the carpet on the way down and it gets jammed... Sometimes you need to trim the carpet a little bit.

      • Thanx paul

        Got it out now, but found out that the u-bent is broken off the ecu where the connector goes in, so have to fix that also
        Lots and LOTS of smal stuff to fix

        • Thats a PITA - seen that once or twice but never done it myself... If you get creative with cable ties you can effect a temporary fix.

              • Is it possible to get chips alone?
                I can chiptune my selef, so no need to send ECU to you.
                And how much it will cost?

                Is there also available a chip for an 3B engine?
