Title: Anyone have a spare ECU? Post by: Rick on September 19, 2010, 03:19:14 AM The UK spec C box I have is proving very difficult to work with :( Does anyone have an M or G box they could sell me so i can finally start tuning?
Thanks, Rick Title: Re: Anyone have a spare ECU? Post by: Jason on September 19, 2010, 10:08:11 AM Good luck... I have been scouring for a while, and it seems like the best bet is www.car-part.com
Just a fair warning: There's a guy on ebay selling ECU's... but he's actually selling resumably stolen GIAC flashes - the wording of the auction makes it sound like a "customer car" was reverted to stock and they have this flashed box available. But then he requires you to send in your current ECU or pay a core charge - and then he uses the same pictures across multiple part numbers M, L, H, etc with multiple listings over time... he sure has a lot of customers turning in flashed ECU's and going back to stock...

You can also try online junk yards like Shokan.

Thanks, Rick is no problem buy it but in europe ebay dealers want 200-300Euro for it. in some ecu You must reconnect one timing valve because in C box both are connecting together.

Hi, can you clarify what you mean by the above? My car is a C box, and I have managed to find an H box, which I will probably reflash to a G box. What do you mean by timing valve?

Rick G box woriking on Hitachi maf, got one car here with 551G. i mean timing solenoid valves on heads look at photo - 551C use ONE driver in ECU to drive solenoids and both is connected to pin 115 , 551G dont know - must check , but 551K use dual driver and one is connected to 115 pin and second to 114pin http://audi.s4.valves.patrz.pl (http://audi.s4.valves.patrz.pl) Title: Re: Anyone have a spare ECU?

I will go through the wiring diagram to check how the components differ. Rick |
