Re: Computer Box
The immobiliser needs to be decoded if you change the ECU. Why do you want to get the 1.6 ECU? With a 1.4 ECU you know the map will be the correct one. Try and find one in a scrapyard and get it decoded, it will work out a lot cheaper than getting a new one from the dealers.Msiko wrote:
