DIY REQ: ECU box removal
I am sure I can get as far as removing the ECU itself along with the harnesses/wiring, but are there any specific instructions for removing the actual box? I have a screwdriver below the box that I dropped in there and want to get it out. Thanks!

Hope these pictures help you. (Ignore comments on pictures, as I pulled this from another thread)
Remove all the plastic sections inside the box and look against the firewall side for the 4 Torx screws (part #7)......you'll notice these in one of the pictures below. These seem to be holding the fan unit shroud assembly. Undo these cautiously, as I believe they hold the ventilation cover (shroud) and the fan assembly located through the hole in the firewall, just behind it. Also looks like there is a Water Outlet Valve (part #2) and a rubber stop buffer (part #3) located at the base of box that is press fit to hold the box down......just pull up on the whole box, to release it. Goodluck! Last edited by Sparky66; 01-30-2010 at 11:24 AM.. |

Does anyone know if that slot where the USB passes through interferes with the ECU fan? I thought that slot was for some ductwork for that fan

I also dropped a socket extension between the firewall and the E-box. It sounded like it’s sitting just beneath the E-box. Any issues just leaving it since it’s a major hassle to pull everything out?

Did anyone try removing this? Any learnings? I have dropped the top bracket holder on this black hole . Is it as easy as removing those 4 screws and the rubber buffers at the bottom?
