- BMW number: 8511331 / DDE8511331 / DDE8511331-01
- Bosch number: 0281017100 / 0 281 017 100
Application
This ECU is used in BMW cars with the 2.0 Diesel engine. Compatibility is decided by the number on your ECU label – 8511331 / 0281017100 – not just by the model and year. If in doubt, send us your VIN.
Extra modifications
For an extra charge we carry out swirl flap removal (Flaps OFF) and EGR OFF. We do DPF OFF and AdBlue OFF only when the car has these systems – AdBlue is fitted to some models only.
Diesel in the ECU – the most common fault
- Cause: a leaking fuel pressure sensor – diesel travels through the wiring to the ECU connector and destroys the electronics.
- We repair ECUs contaminated with diesel, with no communication and those that cut out when the engine is warm.
- After repair, the ECU needs no programming.
- Replace the leaking sensor before refitting, or the fault will return.

Data cloning included
ECU 8511331 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.
