Mk4 astra ecu location..?

[Spudly]

As title can anyone point me in the direction of where the ecu is located on a mk4 astra, we have come to the conclusion that the one on mine will bo goosed as its about the only thing left and a fairly common fault on them apparently:eek:

I had a quick spy in the bay and couldnt see it and looked under the scuttle panel (where vectra's keep theirs) and it wasnt there so im thinking drivers kick panel where they are on cavs possibly?

Need to know so i can get my mate to look out the part number on it so i can order a re-prog one from an online seller and hopefully get my astra back:thumb:

+Rep for anyone who can tell me exactly where it is:d

[comptoncj]

IIRC they are bolted on the side of the inlet manifold under the engine cover. Yours is z16xe?

[Spudly]

Yes its a Z16XE, really theyre on the engine itself, i never wouldve thought to look there lol

[w88rdy]

mine on my gsi turbo is to the right hand side of the battery mate under the hood, they dont look like xe ecus lol just a silver unit with two black plugs into it lol

[Spudly]

Aye i knows what they look like i think....

Yeah silly idea putting a sensitive piece of electrics where it gets hot and cold all the time! I'm pretty sure they are there held one by some torx bolts

Thats probably why theyre common as hell to fail then, stoopid vauxhall lol



And before anyone says it, i wouldve asked on the astra forum but theyre less help than a cheese sandwich:cry:

they are on the right hand side of the inlet manifold, make sure you put the earth back on and yes they are common. Misfire?

Nope runs sweet as a nut till it gets warm (halfway on temp guage) then cuts out and wont restart till its completely cold again!
