Bosch ECU remap - finally?

[DXX]

Let's hope Evri aren't involved in the delivery chain!

At least a lost ECU is potentially less hassle than a blown engine.

Awesome thank you, I'll be expecting daily updates please!

And I'd be interested to know how you got the shear bolts out.

I bent the cage up with grips, so I could release the harnesses, The ECU and cage then slides out, I started the shear pins with a center punch until they cracked, then used pliers

I’ve been quoted £900 to get mine done, still cheaper than getting the new EGR valves, which it needs.
Would you say this is a fair price?

Martin at Pendle says around 1000 (ok he said 995 off the top of his head) plus VAT but he's not sure of the costs yet.

Pretty sure he’s a Forum member so you can ask him?

So the Bosch ECU is held in with security shear bolts? They really have tried to make sure you can't remap it!

New-ish EU rules covering "defeat devices", making it as hard as possible to disable EmCon functions. Too many people have torn the arse out of it over the years and now responsible folk who only want legal engine tuning/optimisation are the ones suffering for it.

Governance by lowest common denominator is all well and good if accompanied by accountability by lowest common denominator.

Like Mad Max but the end result is ‘was it really worth the effort’.
