911 2

there are places in Germany who repair these as mercedes use these in their older cars

ecu.de replied with a YES we can fix it, but only if shipped from and back to a german address.

> Fritz, might you be willing to receive the unit and send back? Will of course cover all costs etc.? And send a good bottle of something your way...

Hi Wicks, of course I can take care of the shipping. If the package is sent from private to private, there should also be no problems with customs. However, 4 -5 additional days should be calculated for domestic shipping.

If the option should come to fruition give me a PM so we can exchange addresses.

Lovely will do Fritz and a great thanks that's very kind. Rusnak have come up with a first try option, Steve Wong here in LA (911chips) wants to see if he can fix it. So we'll try that quickly and if he's not successful I will send to you...

I got the same response from ECU.de. At the time they told me the cars registration had to be outside the US. Let us know how it works out. I do know that the BX suffixed units sold by Porsche was an attempt to sell refurbished units but they all failed within the 2 year warranty and they gave up.

Not for the 3.6 but any 3.3 owners looking?

i found a mercedes unit mounted in my car. worked fine. so for a wile it should do. i would not race the car with such - but it works. can send you a partnumber for the mercedes part. if i remember right it wa s a e300 unit.

wicks

Interesting. Maybe I could grab one as backup/emergency unit. Would you take picture of it? So I can see the P/Ns etc?

Something like here e.g. for little money. The advantage is that they have the same connector coding. I would be reluctant to use them because of different ignition mappings .

The input signals for the engine and charge air temperature are also different.

I would be careful. There are many of these from that period but the units we need are specific to our cars. That is specific to a 5 cyl engine.

I had some MB units with different connectors I had from Brumos racing for their 964T race car number 58. They had a special chipset which i don't know what changes they made but required modifications to the wiring to make them work at all.

I have my 2 spares. I am happy I picked this stuff up years ago when people were tossing them out.

fritz k.

Nope, Mercedes E260/E300 are inline-six, it is also "6 cyl." written on the casing.

Fritz

cobalt

You are correct I was thinking of my fathers 300E and it was an inline 6 as well. Just been a while.

Curious if Peter will show what is/was working in his car... also how many of us have done the additional ground wire for the EZ69?
