S180129001J 9691680380 VIRGIN Plug & Play Engine ECU for Peugeot Boxer and Citroën Jumper 2.2 HDi
Original Continental SID208 engine control unit with part numbers S180129001J and 9691680380. The ECU has been tested, prepared in VIRGIN Plug & Play mode and is ready to synchronise automatically with the vehicle during the first correct installation.
Application of the S180129001J engine ECU
- Peugeot Boxer II
- Citroën Jumper II
This ECU was fitted in different software versions and vehicle equipment configurations. Before ordering, compare the S180129001J reference and OEM number 9691680380 with the label on the original engine control unit. The vehicle model, engine capacity or production year alone is not sufficient to confirm compatibility.
Common symptoms of a faulty SID208 ECU
- no communication with the engine ECU during diagnostics,
- the engine cranks but does not start despite using the correct key,
- intermittent engine stalling or problems restarting the vehicle,
- the vehicle enters limp mode,
- no control of the injectors, relays or selected engine components,
- multiple communication faults involving the BSI and other vehicle modules,
- internal electronic damage caused by moisture, corrosion or water ingress.
Similar symptoms may also be caused by damaged wiring, a weak battery, a missing power supply or ground connection, CAN bus faults, a defective BSI module or an immobiliser problem. A complete vehicle diagnosis is recommended before replacing the ECU.
Programming, cloning and ECU preparation
The engine control unit has been prepared as VIRGIN Plug & Play. Data from the previous vehicle has been removed, so cloning the original ECU or standard manual coding is not normally required.
During the first installation, the ECU communicates with the original BSI module, reads the vehicle configuration, synchronises with the immobiliser system and stores the vehicle data. This process is automatic when the part numbers are correct, the electrical system is operational, the BSI contains the correct configuration and the original programmed key is used.
- fully charge the battery or use a stable battery support unit before installation,
- check the power supplies, grounds, fuses, relays and CAN bus wiring,
- perform the first start using the correct key programmed to the vehicle,
- after successful synchronisation, the ECU stores the vehicle data and is no longer in VIRGIN condition.
VIRGIN does not mean IMMO OFF. The original immobiliser remains active and continues to protect the vehicle.

Frequently asked questions
Does the S180129001J ECU fit a Peugeot Boxer 2.2 HDi?
This engine control unit is used in selected Peugeot Boxer 2.2 HDi versions, mainly from approximately 2014–2016. Compatibility must be confirmed by comparing both S180129001J and 9691680380 with the original ECU.
Does the 9691680380 engine ECU require coding in a Citroën Jumper?
The module is prepared as VIRGIN Plug & Play. With a functioning BSI, the correct key, matching part numbers and stable battery voltage, it should synchronise automatically during the first start.
Do I need to clone the original SID208 ECU from my Peugeot Boxer?
No. Cloning is not required when using this VIRGIN version. The replacement engine ECU reads the necessary vehicle configuration from the BSI during the first installation.
Does the VIRGIN Peugeot Boxer 2.2 HDi ECU have the immobiliser disabled?
No. VIRGIN is not the same as IMMO OFF. The immobiliser remains active, and the replacement ECU synchronises with the original vehicle security system.
What should be checked before installing ECU S180129001J 9691680380?
Compare all part numbers, check the wiring, power supplies, grounds, CAN bus connections and BSI condition, and use a fully charged battery together with the correct programmed vehicle key.
