Wow the corner cutting on modern cars is just ridiculous! I'm just amazed that an ecu would be bolted to an engine with Pound shop level production standards! Nice and accessable I suppose but just crazy in terms of build quality! I think I will stick with my 33 year old Nissan personally! :-) Well done for fixing it! :-)

I have a nasty feeling that BOSCH use this in their ABS ECUs as well. Perhaps they acquired a factory that uses this technology and are stuck with it.

@@backofficeshow Yikes! I wonder if that means my dad's Passat has one? I seem to remember Bosch ECU's are used in VW's though I could be wrong. It's bad enough that the ICs are not encapsulated, but to cover them in melted jelly babies as apposed to even a blob of epoxy I find really shocking! :-0

Dang. Do they put it on the engine like that for the 3.0l as well? At least on my 156 2.0 jts it is mounted to a wing and behind a plastic shield (of sorts).

That ECU is designed to fail - and be very difficult to repair (capacitors aside). Andrew, I'm sure you'd get more views if you took TDL out of the title (or at least moved it to the end).

Thanks Julian, it certainly is awful! I have been meaning to drop the TDL but keep forgetting, I finally have done it across all videos

Not so sure about leaving the capacitor loose like that. With all the vibration and jarring it surely needs more than sitting on that goo.

@@karlos1060 The later V6 166 has the same ECU. CF2 (pre 2001) cars have it in the footwell, CF3 (2001 and on) cars have it bolted to the plenum. I'd seen talk of this fix on a forum I frequent and confess I was cynical as I'd been inside one of these some years back and didn't notice/forgot about the decoupling caps. Nice easy fix!! The CF2 cars have an ME2.1 ECU - conventional PCB & components rather than ceramic hybrid like this one. Much easier to fix...and much less likely to go wrong ;)
