Preparing for fitting
Like any used ECU, 7806981 has to be matched to the car. The simplest way is cloning: you send us your old ECU and we transfer the immobiliser, ISN and VIN from it – included in the price. The other option is programming in the car. In-car programming can be done with ISTA+ / ISTA 4, ISTA/P or E-Sys.
Repair of your ECU
We also repair customers’ BMW 3.0 Diesel engine ECUs – including units contaminated with diesel, with no communication or cutting out once the engine is warm. A repaired ECU needs no programming, as it keeps your car’s data. Before sending, contact us and describe the symptoms and DDE fault codes.
Extra services (paid)
On request we carry out EGR OFF, DPF OFF, AdBlue OFF and swirl flap removal (Flaps OFF). DPF OFF and AdBlue OFF only on cars fitted with these systems – not every model has AdBlue.
