I think you do. I also think you will need Tech 2 as well.

Why the hell would you want to bleed the brakes after an ecu change? your not affecting the fluid level or anything else? the ony time you should have to bleed the brakes is during a fluid change or a brake pipe change,

If it is not from the same engine and transmission type, or you dont know, then

Get in on tech2 and set to your car.

I can confirm that you do not need to bleed the brakes. The only reason the Vaux guy would need to is because they would take half the engine out and put the servo unit on the bench to change the ECU  :D

unlike us enthusiasts  8-)
