gazyork 10 Posted March 17, 2012 i have just got a new ecu from gemany for my g60 the bosch and digifant numbers are both exactly the same. will it be a straight swap over to get her running? the guy at the garage where the car is was going on about immobilisers and maybe have to reprogram the ecu. but i thought if the numbers were all the same it was a straight swap. am i correct?

dannyboy 0 Posted March 17, 2012 Don't ever remember g60s running any imobiliser systems unless it was fitted after market or factory option.I'd seriously advise you to stay clear of that guy for the sounds of it.Brand new ecu will come with original programming that u don't need to touch if ur g60 is standard.u can't reprogram them anyway!they run a eprom chip with is swapped by opening the ecu. Take it from me,its a straight swap.I'm sure other guys on here will back me up. You may have to adjust ur idle setting,maybe CO level but that's it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazyork 10 Posted March 18, 2012 cheers guys thats what i thought it was a straight swap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazyork 10 Posted March 21, 2012 put the new ecu and nothing the car just turns over and wont fire. back to the drawing board Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
owen g60 10 Posted March 21, 2012 Probably the ecu relay. Will be numbered either 30 or 32 on the relay itself. Location 3rd slot from the left on the relay panel. About £15 from the dealer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazyork 10 Posted March 21, 2012 Cheers I hope so Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
owen g60 10 Posted March 21, 2012 Part number is 165 906 381 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazyork 10 Posted March 21, 2012 Cheers for that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
floppyman 0 Posted March 21, 2012 Was this the original problem before you changed the ecu? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazyork 10 Posted March 21, 2012 no the problem i had was the car was over fueling and running rough so i sent the ecu away to be tested and then the company said oh it cant be repaired to badly damaged. so i sourced another one from germany put it in the car and it just turns over and wont fire. even with the old one put back in it wont fire but it used to before, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
floppyman 0 Posted March 21, 2012 Ok so its not the new ecu... Got spark on the plugs? Did you put everything back like before? Earth wires? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazyork 10 Posted March 22, 2012 Will check that when I have put the relay in Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dannyboy 0 Posted March 22, 2012 Check the relay,they're well known to fail themselves.it would have been the first thing I changed. Then its a case of fuel,spark and timing check. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazyork 10 Posted March 22, 2012 everything was working before the ecu was changed over after we found out the old ecu was shot. could really do with a company that will build a custom ecu for me think that might be best Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazyork 10 Posted March 22, 2012 Well it starts do it was the relay. But still running rough do you think it might need the co setting with the ECU been from a different car? Or maybe the blue temp sensor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
