[VR6 engine ECU compatibility]

The current one was liquid damaged from what is likely a result rain leaking through the scuttle...the car would randomly start cutting out and not restarting and eventually died.

I tried a friends ecu with exact same part number in my car and it fired up and ran perfect at first turn of the key!

 

With the BK ecu i also have the full engine loom too which i can compare to the one currently on the car. ALSO the BK one appears to be remapped- it has another chip soldered.

 

Is there any real benefit to switching to OBD2?

I have a '93 OBD1 golf VR6. The current  engine ECU has part number  021 906 258 AF.

 

 

Will a engine ecu from a later OBD1 car which has part number 021 906 258 BK work in my car?

 

Both have the same number of pins but inside the circuit boards are different

[Mk 3 VR6 Major work needed on wiring looms behind dashboard]

try ebay?

dash removal takes a bit of time but isnt difficult, i have changed my dash over in 3 hours, once it's out the looms and fuse box is fully accessible.

If Halfords caused the mess i would be seeking compensation- maybe worthwhile getting a few estimates to repair and have ready to make a claim

i have a set of used samco hoses - one of them is a bit faded in colour where battery leaked on to it. Im sure they came off a corrado as the rad hose angle is incorrect for my mk3 VR6
