Dozza2k5 10 Posted February 23, 2012 Does anyone know if this ecu is "normal"? It looks to have 2 blobs of silicon init, and the chip on the top right of the picture is sitting in a carrier, surely this isn't normal? It looks like its been fitted. Any information would be great, only asking as I'm new to corrado's and this is the first time I've taken apart a vw ecu, many thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
owen g60 10 Posted February 23, 2012 This is perfectly normal. The component glued on the left is a crystal oscillator, the pair on the right are capacitors.... it is normal for some components to be either glued or tied to the board. The only ecu where chips are not in a carrier are on VR6's. You have nothing to worry about Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
