DDE ECU 8589145 – what to know
BMW number 8589145 and Bosch number 0281032308 identify an original 2.0 Diesel engine ECU. This used unit has not been repaired or contaminated with diesel – we check this by opening the housing for an internal inspection. We then fit it to a test car and check how it runs. Warranty: 6 months.
Would you rather repair your ECU?
We also repair BMW 2.0 Diesel ECUs – contaminated with diesel, with no communication, and those that stop the engine once it is warm. The advantage of a repair is that a repaired ECU needs no programming. Diesel usually escapes from a leaking fuel pressure sensor and travels along the wiring to the ECU connector, so replace that sensor before refitting. We explain the details in our articles BMW ECU contaminated with diesel and BMW N47 / B47 ECU faults.
Data cloning included
ECU 8589145 is used, so it will not work straight after plugging in. It has to be programmed in the car, or the data from your old ECU has to be transferred to it: immobiliser, ISN and VIN. We do the cloning at no extra cost – just send us your current unit.
