Does this ECU fit your BMW?
This ECU is used in BMW cars with the 2.0 Diesel engine. The model and year alone are not enough. Compare the label: if it shows 8586537 and 0281031952, it is the same ECU. If in doubt, send us your VIN.
How to get the ECU working in your BMW
- Option 1: programming the ECU in the car.
- Option 2: cloning the data from your old ECU (immobiliser, ISN, VIN) – included in the price.
- For cloning, send us your old unit and we transfer the data to the ECU you bought.
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.
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.
