I am holding a D-Jet ECU testing session on November 26, using my VW-128 tester. This is for the 1.7L and 2.0L cars only. The tester is an interposer configuration and I use an NOS 049 MPS interposed with your ECU to test them together to evaluate all ECU functions.
6 ECUs are currently in the queue for testing. The cost is $125. + return shipping cost with a brief report of what was tested and its results. I do these in batches to minimize set-up time and cost. If you send it to me by Nov 26, I can include it. Paypal preferred, checks also accepted. If interested send me your zip code and email address by PM for a full quote with shipping cost. |

Had a great turn out for this testing session. I ended up with 17 D-Jet ECUs in total to evaluate. The VW1218 tester does an excellent job of evaluating the ECU functions in 9 separate sectors and tests the sectors individually. I also provide a summary report indicating which sectors are good/bad, but basically for each ECU with a bad sector, the tester manual recommends that the ECU be replaced.
4 ECUs turned out to have one or more bad sectors, but 3 of the bad ones were previously known to be defective and were from my stash. Thanks to everyone who participated I hope you will find peace of mind knowing whether your ECU is good (or bad) and the information generally useful. One thing that was interesting was that one of the ECUs that had one or more bad sectors actually functioned well...because I ran my 2.0L with it. So just because you might think an ECU is good...it might not be. I will plan another one of these sessions in the spring for anyone interested. Attached image(s) |

Any recommendations on cleaning up/restoring the ECU case? I've seen them painted gray but want to keep it unpainted/original.
