hi all
iv just got myself a second hand scoobyecu for my95uk.i would like to fit it myself and was wondering if anybody has done this before.
is it just a case of plug the ecu in and go or do i have to get it remapped to suit my car.
how did you go about fitting and is there any hazards i should worry about?
has anybody had any problems by doing this themselves?

thanks in advance

scott

 

It just plugs straight in on a uk. No need to remap just stick it in.

 

Watch the soft headed screws when you are taking off the cover of the ECU, they are very prone to disintegrating in my experience. I ended up having to drill it out.

 

thanks
iv just plugged it in,the car turns over but will not start,any ideas?

Redeye, you have to cut resistor "L1" in order for the piggyback ecu to be recognised.

Skoosh ( installed mine myself ).

Give us a ring if you like, see private message.

 

I fitted one to mine a few months back.

Check you have the chip the right way. There should be a small cut out on one end of the chip and that should line up with one in the ecu. Also there is a resistor that has to be cut out, the one furthest away from the chip (J1 I think but I could be wrong) someone else will probably know.

Hope this helps.

what do you mean "resistor L" wheres that ,whats it look like?

 

Here ya go :-

J1 isn't actually a resistor but just a link shown in the piccy below.

 

iv done it yiiiiiippppppeeeee.when i opened up the ecu cover there was a tiny screw stuck behind the connectors,that why it wouldnt start.
what a difference,i took her for a spin she boosts up much quicker and feels quicker.possably just excitement at doing it myself but i was well impressed.
thanks for all your help everyone,well appreciated.

Don't want to hijack this post - but do the Scooby ECU's work with MY00 ppp ECU's ??

If so do they make any difference

 

i dont have a clue m8,look in scoobyshop,you might find out in there.

 

no they don't, there only for MY93-96

 

oh how i want 1 of these ,wish i could get my hands on 1
