I also have the 073 model ecu.zaust wrote:The only thing that you can do, which will also make much better running and playablity.
Ditch the 1.1 and swap to 1.3 motronic off a later model. It's not the easiest job but it is well worth doing.
Not wanting to hijack the thread....but whats involved in the swap, is it just a case of swapping the ecu or does it involve changing the loom and other parts?
