DDE ECU 8511385 – what to know
BMW number 8511385 and Bosch number 0281017081 identify an original 3.0 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.
Services for an extra charge
Before dispatch we can carry out EGR OFF and Flaps OFF (swirl flap removal), and on cars that have these systems also DPF OFF and AdBlue OFF. Keep in mind that not every model has AdBlue.
Data cloning included
ECU 8511385 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. In-car programming can be done with ISTA+ / ISTA 4, ISTA/P or E-Sys.

Would you rather repair your own ECU?
Has your BMW 3.0 Diesel ECU been contaminated with diesel, lost communication or started cutting out once the engine is warm? We can repair it. The advantage of repair is that your car’s data stays in the unit, so it does not need programming. Before you send it, write to us with the symptoms and the DDE fault codes.
