G60 Losing power

[993turbo]

I have a question about the ECU compability...

My car is equipped with a ECU bosch number 0 261 200 346 / vw number 037 906 022 CP this ECU is from a 90 Golf mk2 G60.

I can buy a ECU at a good price, but its from a 90 Corrado G60, Bosch 0 261 200 346 / 037 906 022 DP

Can I use this ECU in my car or...........................................

Dp is the better one for the G60 its just so much richer in fuel delivery!
Stock Rallyes and G60's have the purple/pink coloured bosch badge, whist the late Corrados had the white ones with DP!
I finally used a later one purely becuase they seem more meater than the stock ones in purple/pink label!

So, this sounds good. I take it I can use this ECU in my car without any issues then???

Well I didn't think your ECU was the issue, but ironing it out to buy instead of borrowing one..... is the hard route to follow.
But no its actually a better ECU a kept secret just for us EX Rallye owners LOL!

Oki.

Well, I live in the south of Spain, and down here these cars dont grow on trees.... :-) Wish I could borrow one, but I dont know anyone who might have one................................ And I want to get to the bottom of this issue, as the car is undriveable, and my GF is now using (read: abusing) my X5..........

Here is a pict of my current ECU:



And of the ECU I can get my hands on:



All ok I guess.... ?

Ohhh, and tell me:

Distributor. Which distributors are compatible with my car? GTI 8v? GTI 16v? Only G60's?? or.........

Let us know how you get on with that Rado ECU. I also have a Rado ECU as a spare but it is exactly the same as my Golf one. I'll have to keep an eye out for the later Rado one then.

White one last pic its the best one IMO! 
Far enough mate I know what its like to drive a tank and then get into a G60!

Yeah, will do. Not sure if its the issue, but I will have to do some ''shot-gun'' diagnostics...
