[@threepotMR2]

Golden rule on E90, any engine faults, always check the ECU first as it takes seconds to pull it out the box. It is very common for them to have been swimming in the box. I have swapped alot of DME on E90. You can clone them with KTAG easy enough, and if the eeprom is totally rotten then there is a handy tool called "ISN CAS DME Editor" which lets you change the used scrap yard DME VIN number and CAS code to match your own CAS.

Blocked drains is not a Renault thing. The same way it's not a BMW thing! Fact is that anything that's dependent on drains, is also dependent on maintenance!

Great effort at repairing this ECU but, 1: You spent a lot of time on it; 2: Did you find every fault ? I prefer to replace an obviously damaged unit unless the unit is so rare or expensive that the amount of time to repair it is justified. I'd spend the bulk of the time fixing the root cause - the water leak - and maybe resealing the replacement ECU to reduce the possibility of water ingress causing a similar issue down the track.

What chemical did you use to clean the board . I once tried petrol and unluckily for me , one of the transistors which drives one of the coils failed

Isopropyl alcohol... Thank you for watching!

Uau, parabéns mais uma vez! Consigo ver horas e horas seguidas. Grande inspiração que tu és! Um dia destes ainda ganho coragem para fazer disto part time. O maior entrave é o investimento inicial e fazer esse investimento no material certo. Fazer isto para várias marcas ainda se torna mais difícil decidir o que comprar em primeiro lugar. Um abraço

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Sem dúvida... Mas se tens gosto, não desistas... Um bocadinho de cada vez e chegas lá... Como se diz, "Roma não foi construída num dia..." Grande abraço. Obrigado!

Awesome video and work! What software is that you had on your laptop that you were watching voltages and such with?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

That would be ISTA... Thank you for watching and for your comment! 👍👍👍

[@stephenwhite5444]

@@LMAutoRepairs okay, so that's a BMW specific software, correct? So do you have to use a BMW specific cable with it or will any obd2 cable work with it? It seems like a lot of dealer softwares require specific cables.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Hi Yes, some do require specific tools.. Some others, work just fine with a J2534... ISTA, works with both, and with a relatively cheap D-Can cable... 👍👍👍

You can find the software with the help of Mr. Google...😉 👍👍👍
