I used Rich Andrade for mine, and I was very pleased.

Let us know where you live and maybe someone can swap the parts to make sure the LH or EZK is your problem.

Plus 2 on Rich. He has rebuilt two for me (different cars, of course) and they work great. Too, the price is right. Jerry

I have three rebuilds in stock at the moment - $495 with a 3 year warranty.

Last I checked Rich's rebuilds are $650 and give errors with some diag tools.
JDS rebuilds are $495 and work with all Dias tools.

Rich rebuilt mine also.Once he received my old unit he also confirmed it was bad and said the car should start right up when he was done as the unit was checked by him first to let me know if it was good or bad.Put the ECU in car started right up ran great and on its 3rd season now with the unit.
Thanks again to Rich

I have not been able to use the Bosch KTS 300 on any of the brains repaired by anyone but JDS in the past several years. Not saying that the rebuilds are bad, but you are unable to test the typical functions from the chips. If you have a failure on your engine management system, some of the rebuilds on the LH are not detectable.

Just food for thought.

My rebuilt LH ECUs are fully compatable with all Porsche diagnotic equipments - KTS301 (Hammer), PST2, PIWIS etc.

Also my Spanner, Durametric and other after market tools, plus of course the SharkTuner.
