Can anybody work out a replacement transistor? BMW E36 ECU

[ardy89]

Hi all,

Having spent a few hours last week tracing the cause of a misfire I have discovered a transistor has blown inside the ECU, caused by a faulty ignition coil (since been replaced):

Now it seems rather difficult to get a hold of one of these, with exception of getting it from America. I could also buy another ECU and transfer into mine, something I am looking into.

Does anyone here understand the specification of transistors and can recommend the equivalent part from a different manufacturer. From my research, the transistor I am replacing is a Motorola STP8055.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Thanks for that, its just difficult not knowing the specs of the original.

Thanks for that, without the specs of the original how did you determine that was correct? Not saying you're wrong but before I go purchasing anything I want to ensure this right.

Thanks for that, I'll look into it and report back.

Thanks for the offer, I ended up buying a second hand ECU and taking a transistor out of that. Now I have plenty of spares.

Transplanting that to my ECU has done the trick!
