Title: Mk3 VR6 ECU...
Post by: MattJAbela on 30 May 2012, 11:48
Sorry about all the random questions guys, its the first engine conversion im doing and i want to get it right..

Basically, when getting the interior out of the vr6 last night, we found an ECU looking type thing under the rear bench, just wondering if this is in fact the ECU or something else?? Just i've never seen an ECU in this position?

Thanks

I would guess it is something aftermarket.

It looks really very standard, the cables wrapped in the same fabric stuff that the normal cables are wrapped in. Looks like the standard cable colours. Sure it had a VW part number on it too. Im going over there at 5 today to carry on. Its really confusing. Its not an AMP, i will get a part number later for it and see if that helps?

I googled Volkswagen VR6 auto gearbox ECU and a few things came up that look the same. Does the gearbox have an ECU??
