I'm trying to prove the ECU I have is definitely a PPP item to prospective buyers.
I think the answer is in the blue sticker on the yellow plastic, on my ECU it says "000" then "DV8" below.
Would any kind Ladies or Gents be prepared to tell me what their blue sticker says on their MY97/98 PPP?
Or what does the sticker on the ECU casing read?
(There should be a number like A18-000-DV8)
Tks to everyone who replied to my other thread,unfortunately the MY97/98 ECU is different from Pre 97 or 99/00 cars.
Many Thanks,John

Do you not have the full PPP then? (because that comes with a certificate)

Matt

 

They would not give me a certificate when mine was fitted to a Euro import MY00 by a dealer, but I do have an invoice.

 

Hi Matt, no I bought the ECU on it's own second hand privately through the BBS.
I've lost the chaps name/contact details (doh).
C'mon you MY97/98 owners, someone must have a Prodrive ECU fitted
:-)

 

Where's it located ?

 

In that case, isn't there a Pink STi sticker on it? John?

Matt

 

Sorry all,no access to BBS from home.

Hi JKJ2, the ECU is located under a metal panel in the passenger footwell.There are a few 10mm nuts securing it.Once you have this off you can probably read the metallic blue sticker on the large yellow plastic wiring connector without removing the actual ECU cover.OR easier still-if anyone has a PPP ECU with the original casing could they tell me the numbers in the pink STI sticker -somewhere (hopefully!)there should be a number A18-000-DV8. PLEASE DO NOT DISCONNECT ANY WIRING OR REMOVE THE ECU COVER-the last thing I want is for someone to damage their car.

Matt,I didn't get the casing with the ECU-I believe the STI sticker is on the metal casing.

Many Thanks for your the replies,John

Hey John, sorry cant help with what you need, you going on saturday? Jen.

 

Hi Jen, yes I've dusted off my white socks & got my "Soul Boy"
fringe haircut(not really!).
Hopefully though should have my Prodrive OZ's & exhaust fitted
(pretentious,moi? ;-)
May bring a few friends if the wheels/tyres don't rub otherwise they can make their own way!
Will I see you there? Cheers,John

 

John, Northern Soul eh!!! is there much in it between wigan casino or S/E casino (showing my age now). Hope you get the mods sorted for Saturday, the OZ wheels are lurvely and great on the road, even make my driving seem OK. Hopefully I will there, and not being late, getting lost or stopping for new trousers. cheers Jen.

 

Jen,you'll have to tell me about Wigan Casino:-)
Re Soul,I was assuming what most old(ancient in my case)Essex boys were into --I was (still am) a biker hence Led Zeppelin,Deep Purple & all that head-banging stuff in my record collection.

Anyway--back to the thread :-)

Still after some numbers/codes from a MY97/98 Prodrive ECU if anyone has them-Cheers,John

 

John, dont forget Wishbone Ash, Jen.

 

Alright John, cant help you with the info, but it will be good to see you and Jen on Saturday.

SCOBY

 

Hi Toby,should be good on Saturday :-)
Jen,can't remember much by Wishbone Ash(senility strikes!) probably listened to lots of their stuff without realising.
Jimi Hendrix-- yes definitely got one of his albums.
(or big CDs as my godson calls them).
One of my favourite driving tapes,compiled by my brother, has stuff like The Doors,Joy Division,New Order,Patti Smith etc
Basically a snapshot of the late 70's/early 80's with a few classics on the side.

ANYWAY--Still after these codes/numbers if you have a MY97/98
Prodrive ECU please get in touch --Cheers, John

 

Oh Patti Smith yes pls,
W/Ash Warrior, 'I have to be a warrior, a slave I can not be, a soldier and a conqueror, fighting to be free...' remember it, 70s rock guitar, west coast type hippy stuff.

we'd better keep quite since probably no one else knows what we are talking about.

See ya Sat.

 

Dont keep quite, it makes me feel a bit younger

Jimmi's cool, dunno about that patsy bird though

So what have the both of you done to your cars so far, i stil havent seen them yet.

SCOBY

 

Hey scoby, sorry I am very boring and only have a standard, no mods other than PPP, thinking about some tho(worried about my warranty), you dont remember Wishbone Ash and Deep Purple do you? LOL.

 

Sorry, i really cant remember wishbone gash & Purple errr sorry forgot what you put now DERRR..

I remember the Banana Splits though

How are you Jen??
SCOBY

 

Scoby, I am exceedingly chilled (sunsititute pi88ed), listening to stuff I have not heard for absolutely ages, and wondering ewhat happened- to the bite of my life in between deec purpke, golf mk1(! OMG) and scooby do city???? hic, hic, hic. LOL.

 

Jen i need some of that what you were drinking, looks like it does the job quite well.

See you tnight

SCOBY

 

Jen,Toby, good to see you & the rest of the guys & gals Saturday.
Was it cold enough or what?Are you guys going to HH on Thursday?
I think the average age of the Cruisers
went up somewhat when we arrived (not because of you Toby of course!)Jen, talking of West Coast stuff let's not forget the Eagles.Right, adopt serious tone now:

If anyone has a MY 97/98 Prodrive ECU can they please get in touch?
If I can prove my ECU is a PPP item I can hopefully flog it & get a Link or better security for the Scoob.

 

John, if you ever do find out if it definately is a PPP ecu and want to sell it let me know

Matt

 

Thanks Matt,pretty sure it is a PPP as the car has lost some urge now I've replaced it with the standard one, if I had a boost gauge it would be easier to check the difference.
C'mon, someone out there must have one & can tell me the serial numbers(pretty pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease:-)--John

 

Why won't anyone email you their number? are to super top secret for some reason?

What price would you be looking for when you do sell it John?
Am I right in thinking it's just plug and play? i.e. whip out the old one and put the PPP ecu in it's place?

Matt
