how to get the plug out of the ecu?

[Dan318-is]

we forgot he was in danemark?

[johnono]

As your car is a left hooker you are at the correct ECU behind glove box. ECU is under steering wheel on right hand drive cars.

The ABS pump should be behind YOUR drivers side headlight if its LHD, infront of the expansion tank.

[johnono]

0k then....

so to get it out, 4 bolts holdin it up, ecu sticker on the underside?

[Dan318-is]

well the ECU number is on the blue sticker

apologies

[Taylor325i]

no abs then... lame

[Dan318-is]

i prefer none abs tbh

well done taylor mate

[Andy335Touring]

Doh !

[Simon13]

to me it doesn't look like u have abs, but anyway, u wanna get that big plug off right?

There should be a silver type clip holding it secure, pull this towards u and this should allow u to get it off. If u get me?! I'm trying!

Like the boys have said 4 10mm bolts holding her up, once they're off the ecu is lose and u will be able to get the big plug off too.

HTH if i'm still on the right tracks!

lhd

[johnono]

Ok lads,


i think weԚ´ll leave this one here for now... before u help me blow up the bastard


tommorow, ill have some more details, as for now its too late to go fishin about for

cheers u lot,.. nice one for gettin involved

[jmc330i]

And looking at this pic.....


There should be two 10mm bolts on the left of the ECU and 2 on the right.
Youve got the silver clip out, so just pull the plug outwards from the side that the loom goes into the plug, and it will sort of 'pivot' out from the opposite end.

[Dan318-is]

johnono entertainment pal, what a thread

[dazleeds]

HTH

[johnono]

u guys!

jmc, this is where it went pear.. it feels stuck if u get what i mean, but yep, it does seem to pivot away from the clip end. i dont want to get too heavy handed with it though.. should it pull away easy or will i need to get a foot up on the dash?

[Dan318-is]

its easy to pull off, you have undone that screw and pulled away that metal clip aint ya

it hsould just unplug with a tug then, and u b left with a metal box

[TOURINGDADDY]

once the bolts r removed it will fall off

[dazleeds]

easy once unbolted mate

[johnono]

ok then,.. screw out and clip off,

still a bit firm.. looks like a little plastic clip/spring on the right side of the plug .

[Dan318-is]

once youve got to that stage, assuming youve slid it out from under the dash by undoing those four gold ten mil bolts, it should pull apart easy

[johnono]

ok, bolts of tommorow then

nice one lads,

next installment tommorow

[Dan318-is]

look forward to it

[dazleeds]
