And ECU Testing are cheaper than BBA.....and equaly as good (lifetime warranty to)

[James Q]

Yeah I saw them, only £100

I have always used ecutesting, and have no complaints. There is a much simpler way of changing the ECU than described in the guide. Malc p taught me it. I have used it several times.
 
Basically you remove the power steering reservoir and the battery, unclip the ABS pipes form the bulkhead, loosen the outside ABS mounting bolt, remove the inside bolt, free it from the heatshield, tilt up the ABS/ECU assembly to reveal all six screws holding ECU to ABS body, and undo them.

If you want more details, let me know.

Hi thanks for the info! If you could pm me with the details it would be greatly received

I will describe it on forum. I last did it on a 2 litre, but have done it on V6s as well. If unwise, Chris and Al will say so.
1.  Unclip fuse box above battery, remove battery. On V6 you may choose to move harness from above battery to engine too.
2. Empty power steering fluid reservoir, detach PS reservoir, remove hoses, remove reservoir.
3. Unclip all brake hoses from from bulkhead clips; leave pipes attached to ABS unit.
4. Locate ABS harness and socket; locate the violet coloured locking slide at bottom of plug; insert long screwdriver in the slot at the outside end and pull outwards, wiggle plug a bit and disengage plug from socket.
5. Loosen nut on outside ABS mounting screw; remove nut from inside ABS mounting screw. Bend back heatshield from inner mounting screw, releasing it.
6. Grasp ABS unit and tilt front end upwards to reveal six screws holding ECU to ABS modulator body. Catch bottom mounting buffers if they fall out.
7. Remove the six screws holding ECU to modulator.
8. As you pull ECU off modulator, locate and unplug cable beneath it to motor.
9. Reassembly is reverse of dissembly.

The only thing I would add to that is to be extra careful not to strain the brake pipes, and make sure the block is well supported as you undo the torx screws

I just undo the plug,chop all the brake pipes,undo the fixings and yank them out. They never have to go back on the same car though.
