Where do I find the ECU on M12 2.5? Want to check if it's been up graded. Cheers Tim

In front of the drivers side rear wheel. By the battery there is a pannel that you need to remove.

I found out yesterday (as I have the original 2.5 ECU) that this can be re-mapped by west tuning.

Cheers Bondy I'll investigate, are you pleased with the benifits of remapping? Tim

Don't know yet, I get the car back in a couple of weeks as the head gasket has gone (just after blowing the diff).

Will look into remap next year.

I was curious so I called west and he can do it. As I still have the 5spd box (although now new) the LSD will put a bit of pressure on it and mapping can smooth out the torque delivery. Obes has had a map done to do this as he has 5spd diff/box. but has Omex ECU.

Are you running std diff/box?

Don't know if it has LSD, the last owner had a new G/box fitted but I Haven't been able to jack it up and check yet. Tim

It should say on the 'box in reddishy orange marker pen what box and diff are fitted.

Tim, i was intrested in your car before you bought it, IIRC you have the standard ECU which was repaired!! I have unfortunatley deleted all my e-mails regarding the car now so can't be 100% sure!!

Cheers Lloyd I will check when I adjust the door striker as I believe it's behind the same panel. Cheers Tim
