[Neilmathews]

Thanks Martin the numbers being 0281001802? (And I don't need to worry about the other numbers on tge ecu?).

[Neilmathews]

Thanks Martin apologise if this is a duplicate, cannot see my earlier reply....is there one number only I must check for compatability I. E 028100182 ? And I can ignore the other numbers? ( other factors match I. E 2.5tdi 1998 manual diesel etc...)

Yes, as long as the 0281001xxx number is the same you should have no problems.

Just had a quick look on eBay but nothing there at a decent price. Lakes autos should have one or maybe minty on here.

Just got it....off eBay dint show on your search probably because of spacing...0 281 001 820. £40 which I guess is not good/ not bad....If I send u the 'new' ecu for the doings what is the cost? Tight budget etc post Christmas :-) incidentally....my last project....removed a bmw tds 6 cyl with ecu engine loom etc and transplanted it into an xk150 replica. And chipped it opening the ecu myself and switching the chips. Had no idea what I was doing other than slavish logic....worked fine. Scary that first turn of the key .....will it won't it......

[martin_r_smith]

If you want to open it up and solder yourself new chips in then go for it, the hardest part is removing the old ones without damaging them. I can supply them for £75 plus postage. You would need to send me the old chips so I can read them and write the tune using your original files.

Or send me the ecu and I'll get the work done and that would be £135 plus postage.

I have sent you details in PM. Turn around is usually 7 days depending on how busy my soldering chap is.
